Central Coast Kids in Need Central Coast Kids in Need (CCKIN) had its origins in 1993 when a local mother was staying with her sick child at Ronald McDonald House. Many Central Coast families of children undergoing treatment do not qualify for any Government assistance as they live outside of the 100km of the medical centre where treatment is being undertaken.

Surf Life Saving Central Coast On Saturday 24th of September 2022 it was once again a privilege for Freemasons on the Central Coast to attend the annual Raising of the Flags ceremony at Terrigal Beach on the Central Coast. Freemasons on the Central Coast (FotCC) have been supporting our local Surf Life Saving Club and you will see the Square and Compasses on the rear of their rashie uniforms. FotCC have also purchased 2 Tigercat Gen 2 and Gen 3 life saving vessels which are now used to patrol the beach.
Welcoming the 2022/2023 summer season, 15 local Surf Clubs marched onto the beach by the glorious sounds from Gosford Pipes and Drums and reminding the community about beach and swim safety. Remember to always swim between the iconic red and yellow flags and to wear life
with prolonged illness (a very large proportion are Cancer Patients, others with organ transplants and premature babies with life threatening health issues). Over the past 17 years CCKIN have assisted 3573 families and outlaid in excess of $4 million. Freemasons on the Central Coast (FotCC) are pleased to be long term supporters of the CCKIN. In recognition of the work done by CCKIN, FotCC were recently pleased to provide them with a cheque for $5,000 towards the current and future needs of local families.
