Building on our mission statement: The Metropolitan Grand Almoner and his team are delighted to bring to all members the Wellman-Connected Programme.
Offering a wide range of support, care and services to our members and their families as they navigate through life’s challenges offering improved communication and dedicated support.
Over many years the Metropolitan Almoner team have demonstrated ingenuity in identifying the agencies which can support our members in times of distress. However, despite our best efforts not all members are aware of the support available or how they can easily access them. Our guiding principle is to connect the Mason back to his health, his wellbeing and his Masonic community by enhanced signposting to services available.
The Almoners team have built up a vast database of knowledge and going forward this will be vested in the Wellman team, who will constantly scan the horizon for new opportunities to support our members, with the program developing over time. In particular to help support more complex situations.
We are committed to enhancing our communications through the Almoner channel, reinforced by direct communication to members. The Tea Room will not only be a drop in but be elevated to become our Masonic community hub.
The main areas of support are outlined below and more detail can be accessed through the relevant buttons.
Mental Wellbeing
Mental Wellbeing
The impacts of mental wellbeing have drawn more focus since the pandemic, and the resources available via the Masonic Charitable Foundation website are vast and comprehensive. Mental Wellbeing by its very nature can at times prevent those from being able to access the support that is available. This may be related to the stigma associated with mental wellbeing and a lack of confidence in being able to approach a brother to talk to them about the topic.
Physical Wellbeing
Physical Wellbeing
Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and sometimes we find ourselves facing challenges we could never have anticipated. We don’t have to go through these difficult times alone.
