Here it is

Funds in a Relief Chest may be used to assist any individual in distress. There is no requirement that the individual receiving the financial assistance is a Mason or Masonic dependant. There is no limit on the number of donations that may be given to an individual in distress. The minimum amount of the donation is £50. The maximum amount of an Emergency Donation is £500. Other, non-Emergency, donations for the relief of distress may be of any amount, subject to the funds available in the Relief Chest.

The money however can not be put into an almoners fund.

Point missed again:P, I want to do it seperately because it is too important to be hidden away in a topic like this.

Oh dear Mike sarcasm does not suit you. I hope working in GQS is not changing your attitude to being pompous.

You could not find it, I supplied it, end of no point missed.

Perhaps the point missed is sticking it anywhere on a forum were a minority of UGLE FM's will see it. Apparently there is a fantastic computer system at GL, get them to cascade it via email. But they cant because they are failing in the returns to pick up email addresses.

Sarcasm? Pompous? That's way wide of the mark, that's what the smiley was for to show that I wrote it with a smile. Working in GQS isn't changing me (not in the way you mean anyway) because I work for the GC not UGLE. However it is changing my opinion of the Charities because day in day out I am seeing the plight of our poor and distressed brethren and those words now mean something to me rather than just being a toast at the Festive Board

As I said I had it and was intending to ensure that the whole thing was put up in a seperate post not a snippet. You should know me well enough by now to know that I like to supply the whole picture. However, I understand that my brevity probably caused the misunderstanding.

The UGLE will always have difficulty picking up information that isn't supplied or not updated but that's not the point. My point is doing my best to ensure that I'm communicating, with whatever tools I have at my disposal, what I know to people who may need to know. Regardless of whether other people understand or appreciate what I'm trying to do.
