freemasonry

What is it?

Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest and largest non-religious, non-political, fraternal and charitable organisations. There are 250,000 Freemasons belonging to 8000 Lodges throughout England and Wales and overseas districts with over six million members worldwide.

Freemasonry instils in its members a moral and ethical approach to life. Our values are based on integrity, kindness, honesty and fairness. It also teaches and practices concern for people, care for the less fortunate and help for those in need.

For some it’s about having an enjoyable past time, making new friends and having fun. For many it is also about being able to help deserving causes – making a contribution to family and to wider society.

There are three great principles of Freemasonry that have endured for many years and, whilst they may seem old fashioned, they are still as relevant today as they were when first conceived.
