Charity at the Heart of the Lodge

Good men doing good things. Freemasonry has been one of the UK’s great charitable traditions for centuries — and Meyrick Lodge plays its part.

Freemasons Give More Than You Think

Freemasonry has been one of the largest charitable contributors in the UK for centuries. Nationally, Freemasons donate over £50 million to charitable causes every year — to hospitals, hospices, schools, and community organisations across the country.  It is the second largest contributor to charity in the UK, behind only The National Lottery.

At Meyrick Lodge, that tradition is very much alive. From our Master’s chosen charity to national Masonic causes, giving back is woven into everything we do.
