The Duke of York Community Initiative
The Province is once again supporting the Duke of York Community Initiative, which it has done since the first presentations in 1998. This year’s awards will be presented at a ceremony in Harrogate next week.
HRH The Duke of York founded the initiative in 1997, primarily, and actively, encouraging the development of community spirit, individual leadership and initiatives in Yorkshire.
The initiative recognises projects through a dedicated award scheme and recognition of excellence. Its principal aim is to foster and increase community spirit throughout the four Yorkshire counties and is only awarded to community schemes of outstanding merit, which meet the stringent assessment criteria.
The Provincial Grand Master, John Clayton said, “we are delighted to be supporting this commendable initiative, dedicated to recognising the contribution individuals and groups make in supporting community schemes. These are values we encourage with our financial support to non-Masonic community causes within the Province”
