Supporting Freemasons or their families
We want to make the greatest possible impact at a local level
We want to make the greatest possible impact at a local level
Last year we received 15,416 calls and emails from Freemasons or their families seeking support – more than we have ever received before.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we have never had to turn down an application due to a lack of funds. Thankfully, we responded to the rise in enquiries by awarding more grants to more people in need. The average value of these grants also increased.
As households continued to struggle with the rising costs of everyday life, the majority of these grants helped people to cover the cost of living. Half of the total value of support we provided to Freemasons or their families was for daily living costs.
Our grants for Daily Living Costs helped people to cover the everyday costs of running
a home or respond to an emergency.
