Our year in numbers

The facts and figures from 2017/18.

Silhouettes

Another year of working together

Our second year has been about building on our foundations to create a charity that freemasons can rely on and proudly call their own.

Silhouettes

Together we've... reached more people

As a new charity that launched in 2016, one of our aims for the first few years is to make sure that people know who we are and how to contact us for support, services and grants.

Silhouettes

Together we've... improved the way we work

We've been working hard to improve the way we work for the benefit of the people and charities we support.

Silhouettes

Together we've... Given more

This year, we gave more than ever to local and national charities, and also helped an increasing number of freemasons and their families.

Our income and expenditure

All of our income comes from the generosity and efforts of the masonic community.

Our campaign #wearethemcf

Our Christmas campaign is a celebration of the network of hardworking, caring and inspirational people that makes our work possible.

Our plans for the future

Since our creation in April 2016, we have become the largest independent Masonic charity for both our community and the wider population and have also become one of the largest grant-making foundations in the UK.
