Message from the Chairman and Chief Executive

Over the last twelve months, we have supported hundreds of local and national charities to ensure the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in society get the support they need. We have also provided essential support and services to thousands of Freemasons or members of their families with financial, health, family or care needs.

For charities, we provided funding for core costs or projects that tackled some of society’s most prominent issues, such as loneliness and social isolation in later life and barriers facing disadvantaged children and young people. For Freemasons and their families, we provided grants and support services for those struggling with the cost of everyday living; their health, care and wellbeing; or accessing opportunities for children, young people and their education.

As a charity funded entirely through the generosity of Freemasons and their families, we would like to thank everyone that has contributed to our work. Whether through fundraising, volunteering, making a donation or signposting people to our support – every single action means we can continue to encourage opportunity, promote independence and improve wellbeing for thousands of people.

In this report, we highlight the areas in which we have made the most impact and set out our goals for the year ahead – all on behalf of Freemasonry.
