The RWM has struck a new token to raise money for the RW Provincial Grand Master's charity - Calum's Cabin.

Calum's Cabin is a well-known Scottish children's cancer charity that provides free holiday homes and respite accommodation for families affected by childhood cancer.

The charity was founded in 2007 on the Isle of Bute in memory of Calum Speirs, a 12-year-old boy who passed away from an inoperable brain tumor. Before his death, Calum envisioned a peaceful retreat where young cancer patients and their families could take breaks to spend quality time together and recharge.

The charity provides:

• Holiday Homes: Peaceful retreats located in beautiful parts of Scotland, including the Isle of Bute, Ayrshire, Anstruther, and Aviemore. The charity covers ferry travel costs and provides spending money for visiting families.

• Glasgow Flats: The charity owns 12 "home-from-home" flats in Glasgow. These are offered completely free of charge to families whose children are undergoing long-term intensive cancer treatments at Glasgow's major oncology centers.

• Support Services: Beyond physical accommodation, they provide toy "fairy boxes" for cancer wards, holiday gifts, and weekly online mindfulness and mental well-being sessions for parents and family members.

Tokens are available directly from the RWM at a price of £7 each.  They are proving very popular - so act fast if you want one.
