Charitable Work

Masonic charity is exercised at every level: individual Lodges make gifts and give aid to their own communities and every Province also gives large sums of money to regional causes. Nationally, our efforts are channelled through four main charity organisations. They are:

    The Grand Charity

    The Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys

  The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution

  The Masonic Samaritan Fund

 
From its earliest days, Freemasonry has been concerned with the care of orphans, the sick and the aged.

This work continues today, In addition, large sums are given to national and local charities.
