Charity

From its earliest days, Freemasonry has been involved in charitable activities, and since its inception it has provided support for many widows and orphans of Freemasons as well as others within the community.

All monies raised for charity are drawn from amongst Freemasons, their families and friends, while grants and donations are made to Masonic and non-Masonic charities alike.

Over the past five years alone Freemasonry has raised more than £75 million for a wide range of charitable purposes including those involved in medical research, community care, education and work with young people.

Over the last few years, this Lodge has supported several local charities, as well as contributing to the charitable funds administered by the Provincial Grand Lodge of Devonshire.

The Provincial Grand Lodge of Devonshire will be hosting the 2012 Festival for the Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys, and special efforts are being made to support this.

Further information on this Festival and other charitable support organised by the Province can be found on the Links page.
