One of main strands of Freemasonry is Charitable Giving, to help support others less fortunate than ourselves. This may be in form of financial, moral or physical support.
To this end each year we
- donate to specific charities as nominated by the Master,
- consider requests from the local community
- support the Grand Lodge charities.
- Within the website, this is arranged by the YEAR that each MASTER in in charge, which runs from October to September, when the new master is installed.
