Service
Masonic values are based on integrity, friendship, respect and service. Freemasons characteristically practice charity and care, not only within their own membership but also amongst the community as a whole. From its earliest existence Freemasonry has been committed to caring for others, something that still continues today.
Our charitable work and support is certainly not an Insurance Policy just for Freemasons and their families. However, we are there to offer advice, assistance and financial support following a life-changing event such as a medical diagnosis, changing care needs, family breakdown or the death of a family member.
Masonic charity is exercised at every level, individual lodges make gifts and give aid to their local communities and every Province contributes large sums of money to regional charitable causes. Nationally, our efforts are channelled through the Masonic Charitable Foundation.
Becoming a Freemason is a real opportunity to ‘give back’ and really make a difference to the lives of those facing the toughest challenges in life and to help young people develop and achieve through education.
