King s Lynn Winter Night Shelter (KLWNS) has received a grant for £10,000 to fund accommodation for the homeless throughout Christmas and New Year.
Norfolk s Freemasons stepped in to provide the newly-opened night shelter with the much-needed funds to provide accommodation to those most in need.
Project co-ordinator Lucy McKitterick said: We were delighted to be invited by the Norfolk Freemasons to apply for a grant from their national charitable giving this year. We were even more pleased when having been turned down for a national grant due to the hugely increased need in this Covid year, the Norfolk branch wanted to support themselves with this wonderfully generous grant.

King s Lynn Town Band are tuning up for charity as they plan to put on a virtual fundraising concert to support causes close to their heart.
The band, which normally would play several live concerts throughout the year, has been forced to adapt after Coronavirus and social distancing measures came into effect.
Elaine Croker, chair of Kingâs Lynn Town Band, said: Like many amateur organisations, brass bands have been hugely affected by the COVID outbreak and unable to rehearse or perform. To help keep us motivated, we have been producing isolation videos where we each record our part separately which are then put together to create the full âbandâ sound.
