Lord Enniskillen Memorial  Orange
Orphan Society
Back to Charity Home Page
The Institution in 1888 decided that as a principle, we should
give financial assistance to the orphans of our deceased brethren
and sisters, and so the Lord Enniskillen Memorial Orange Orphan
Society was founded. The Society is named after a former Grand
Master of Ireland, the Earl of Enniskillen.
Today the Society continues to stress the right of the child
to develop his or her full potential within their family and
community and the importance of a Christian environment within
the Protestant faith. As an Institution we need to acknowledge
that in decisions affecting the child his or her needs must
come first.
The Right of the Child includes:
- The right to an adequate standard of living;
- The right to education;
- and The right of day to day care.
The following are eligible to receive assistance
from the Society:
Children of deceased members of the Loyal Orange Institution
of Ireland, or the Association of Loyal Orangewomen in Ireland.
Children, either of whose parents is a member of the Loyal
Orange Institution of Ireland or the Association of Loyal
Orangewomen in Ireland, and whose spouse is deceased. Children
under the care of their Grandparents either of whom are members
of the Loyal Orange Institution of Ireland, or the Association
of Loyal Orangewomen of Ireland. Children, either of whose
parents is a member of the Loyal Orange Institution of Ireland
or the Association of Loyal Orangewomen in Ireland and whose
father or mother has been medically certified to be totally
and permanently incapacitated from supporting his or her family.
Benefits paid include:
- Half Yearly Grant, Christmas and Clothing Bonus, payable
until the child attains the age of 16 years.
- Extension of Grants for Education or Medical reasons.
- Bursary Grants to those attending College or University.
- Special Grants for cases of hardship.
- Emergency Grants for immediate needs.
- Support for children who may need special medical attention.
convalescent care, or equipment.
Their Rights to be Met
Ensuring the rights of a child means meeting their needs
and giving them and their families the proper resources for
their care. To meet these needs we as a Society must continue
to make our Grants realistic.
The Society cares about children and young people and are
reaching out in faith and love to meet our commitments. Such
a Christian response remains vital if we are to respond to
the needs of children, young people and families.
Our Response:
We have given assistance to thousands since our formation
in 1888. The need is as strong today as it ever was, please
help us to meet that need by;
- Thinking:
about the needs of children and young people and how you can
practically help these families.
- Praying:
for the children and young people we help and their families.
- Giving:
please help us by giving a donation to our work.

ye have done it onto one of the least of these my
