Charitable support of our fellow citizens is embedded within Freemasonry’s core principles. The challenge, as always, is where to help next? As such, the requirement to support different causes are regularly discussed and promoted within our ceremonies or meetings.
We remain motivated to help others in a constructive and meaningful format, which usually translates to financial or physical (volunteering) support.
We support local, national & global causes as well as our own Masonic community. Our focus is to be a force for good by supporting charities to help, many who in society, are disadvantaged. Below are some of the more recent Charitable causes that the Military Lodge has supported :
