Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation that traces its origins to the late 16th to early 17th century. It is characterised by its commitment to moral and ethical development, personal growth, and community service. Members, known as Freemasons, engage in rituals and ceremonies that emphasise values such as integrity, charity, and brotherhood. Freemasonry operates through local groups called lodges, where members gather to discuss philosophical ideas, support charitable initiatives, and foster fellowship among one another. The organisation is open to men of various backgrounds and beliefs who seek to improve themselves and contribute positively to society.

Our Values
INTEGRITY
Rather than 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
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
With a membership of more than 200,000 people drawn from communities across the UK, Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion or any other perceived differences that can divide us as a society.
SERVICE
Whether participating in events, fundraising for a charitable cause or volunteering for public or community organisations, service is at the very heart of Freemasonry. Our members make valuable contributions by donating time, resources and skills.
