THE county's Freemasons have donated £5,800 to the Haven.

The Right Worshipful Brother, the Reverend David Bowen, said that he was fully aware that the success of the Hereford charity's work depended entirely on donations and the Herefordshire Province of Freemasons has been a guardian of the Haven since 2011.

Edward Lord, the national director of fundraising and development for the breast cancer Havens in Hereford, Leeds and London, is a senior freemason and welcomed the donation.
