WHAT WE DO
Meaningful Work
BUILDING STRONGER COMMUNITIES
Freemasons have a long history of supporting their communities through charitable giving and volunteer work. From building homes with Habitat for Humanity to donating blood and volunteering at soup kitchens, Freemasons are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
PROMOTING EDUCATION AND LEARNING
Freemasons understand the importance of education and offer a variety of scholarships and grants to help students pursue their academic goals. They also support libraries and other educational institutions, ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need to succeed.
UPHOLDING MORAL VALUES
Freemasonry is based on a set of core values, including integrity, charity, and respect for others. These values guide the actions of Freemasons both within the lodge and in their everyday lives. By living these values, Freemasons make the world a more just and compassionate place.
TIMELESS STANDARDS
Integrity | Selflessness | Respect | Brotherhood
Freemasonry is a fraternal and charitable organisation that is non-religious and non-political. It is one of the oldest organisations, tracing its roots to medieval stonemasons who built castles and cathedrals. There are around 4,000 Freemasons in the Province of Northumberland, each belonging to over 135 Craft Lodges that meet in 27 Masonic Halls.
​
Worldwide, there are six million Freemasons, each with unique reasons for joining. For some, it's about making new friends and acquaintances. For others, it's the ability to contribute to deserving causes and society. However, for most, it is simply an enjoyable hobby. The primary attraction of Freemasonry is that members come from all walks of life and meet as equals, regardless of their race, religion, or position in society.
Our charity
Masonic Charitable Foundation
​
Giving has always been a fundamental principle of Freemasonry. Freemasons contribute their time and money to help others, whether it be at a local, national or global level. Today, the Freemasons are one of the top charities in the UK, raising over £33 million annually from individual donations and fundraising efforts.
​
The Masonic Charitable Foundation is a grant-making charity that aims to build better lives by enabling opportunities, advancing healthcare and education, and promoting independence for Freemasons, their families, and the wider community. It is funded entirely through the generosity of Freemasons and their families and is one of the largest organisations of its kind in the country.
