WHAT WE ARE
PURPOSE
We are a unique members’ organisation which has thrived for over 300 years. Having no political or religious affiliations, we comprise members of all ages, races, religions, cultures and backgrounds. We meet in our individual Lodges throughout the country where we have ceremonial traditions which encourage us both to be more tolerant and respectful and actively to fulfil our civic and charitable responsibilities; we also make time to eat, drink and meet together, and form lifelong friendships.
Our Mission
We continue in our philosophy of building together, to enhance our reputation as a thriving organisation that people aspire to join and broaden our membership across all demographic groups.
Our Core Values
- INTEGRITY
Building Good People
Rather that working on buildings like the masons of old, today’s Freemasons focus on building themselves as people of integrity, and membership provides the structure to help achieve that goal.
- FRIENDSHIP
Build together
One of the oldest social organisations in the world, Freemasonry is not defined by an ideology. It is open to people from all religions and political persuasions, and provides the common foundation for friendships between members, many of which will last for life.
-
RESPECT
Building Unity
Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion or any other perceived differences that can divide us as a society
- CHARITY
Building compassion
Kindness and charitable giving are deeply ingrained within the principle of Freemasonry. The organization provides a support structure that helps member make positives contribution to communities and worthwhile causes through fundraising events or volunteer work.
Our Vision
To attract those from all backgrounds and walks of life, enabling them to develop into more thoughtful and confident people. To inspire and challenge them to practise the core values we celebrate – Integrity, Friendship, Respect, Service – in their private and public lives. To cement our reputation as a force for good in our communities and society at large and as a thriving organisation that people aspire to join.
