ASA Scotland SCIO Charity, Patron His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant Alan Simpson CVO, OBE, FRSE, President: Falkirk Councillor Baillie William Buchanan, Chairman: West Lothian (Bathgate) Councillor Harry Cartmill, Ambassadors: RAF Veteran Alison Moodie OBE, Major Donnie Harris, Major Allan Cunningham, Veteran Chaplain Phil Patterson 1/12/2024
Ref: Armed Forces & Family Day 2025,
Dear Secretary, I have been instructed to write by ASA Scotland Charity Board of Trustees. We are planning Armed Forces & Family Day 2025 and are seeking the support of all Stirlingshire Masonic Lodges.
Our small charity was formed 9 years ago, after a visit to France and Belgium in 2016, visiting War Graves and Memorials, our name derives from the Ancre British Cemetery, Beaumont Hamel, France. We support our Royal Family, our Armed Forces, our Veterans, schools, community groups, Tri-Cadet Forces and communities across Scotland. We show appreciation for our Armed Forces, Veterans and their families, we arrange community events, that brings the whole community together.
We feel it is important to engage, inspire, teach our Armed Forces heritage to every generation. We are invited to schools across central Scotland. When we visit schools, we find that young people have no idea who our Armed Forces are, they don’t know much about WW1, WW2 or subsequent Wars and Conflicts, They don’t understand that freedom is not free. We believe a Nation that forgets it’s history has no future, we also believe remembrance is 365 days a year. Voluntary Forces charity) Event name: Armed Forces & Family Day, Venue: Callendar Park, Falkirk, Date: Saturday 5 th July 2025, Time: Parade starts at 11:15am at the Bandstand Falkirk, ends at Callendar Park at approx 11:45am, we then have fantastic activities from 12 noon till 5pm.
We would like all Veterans/Families/Masonic Lodges /Communities to join us for day, as we say thank you to our Armed Forces and Veterans. We have invited King Charles to this event. The past 9 years as been very difficult and challenging, but we have continued to deliver “National Best Practice” in terms of our community and school outreach voluntary work. We wondered if Masonic Lodges would consider donations to assist our charity with Armed Forces & Family Day. May I take this opportunity to wish your Provincial Grand Master/All Office Bearers and all Lodges a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year 2025.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Kind Regards, Brother Tommy Davidson Secretary
