Dean Waterfield Lodge Visits ‘The Living Room’

In November 2025 Dean Waterfield Freemasons heard that the Living Room needed funds to enable them to continue supporting the local homeless community in Hereford and those that maybe about to become homeless.

The charity ETHOS (Extending The Hand OSupport) headed up by Mel Groves provides invaluable support to the local homeless community. Members of Dean Waterfield Freemasons contacted Mel and arranged to meet her on  December 22nd and donated £1,000 to support this wonderful group of dedicated individuals.

At a follow up meeting with Mel after Christmas she informed us that the donation arrived just in time to pay the Christmas meat bill, which was in excess of £900, for which she and the rest of the team were extremely grateful for. So much so she was keen to display our blue logo “Supported by Herefordshire Freemasons” in the front window.

Hereford Homeless Support is a local initiative dedicated to addressing the challenges of homelessness in Hereford. Founded in 2018 by a group of compassionate individuals, the project provides meals, clothing, and practical support to individuals experiencing homelessness. In collaboration with Ethos, the project established a safe space in the city, which led to the creation of the Living Room, a hub for essential services and support.
