Spalding brethren donate £500 to medical research

Duncan Wells, Almoner of Welland Lodge in Spalding, has presented a cheque for £500 from the Lincolnshire’s New Provincial Benevolent Fund to Christine Robbins, Coordinator of the Lincolnshire Branch of the British Sjogren’s Syndrome Association (BSSA) along with his wife Gillian, who is a member of the BSSA.

The donation will be used to further the ongoing investigation into the cause and treatment of Sjogren’s syndrome – an autoimmune disease that effects various parts of the body. It is often first noticed by people suffering from a dryness to the mouth and eyes, gritty feeling to the eyes, and skin irritation with no obvious signs.
