OUR PURPOSE

WHAT WE ARE

We are a unique members’ organisation which has thrived for over 300 years. Having no political or religious affiliations, we comprise members of all ages, races, religions, cultures and backgrounds. We meet in our individual Lodges throughout the country where we have ceremonial traditions which encourage us both to be more tolerant and respectful and actively to fulfil our civic and charitable responsibilities; we also make time to eat, drink and meet together, and form lifelong friendships.

OUR VISION

WHAT WE AIM FOR

To attract those from all backgrounds and walks of life, enabling them to develop into more thoughtful and confident people. To inspire and challenge them to practise the core values we celebrate – Integrity, Friendship, Respect, Service – in their private and public lives. To cement our reputation as a force for good in our communities and society at large and as a thriving organisation that people aspire to join.

OUR MISSION

HOW WE WILL ACHIEVE THIS

Over the next 7 years, we will enhance our reputation as a thriving organisation that people aspire to join and broaden our membership across all age groups.

About Freemasonry

Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest secular fraternal societies, who are concerned with moral and spiritual values. Members are taught its precepts (moral lessons and self-knowledge) in a series of ritual dramas which follow ancient forms, and use stonemasons’ customs and tools as allegorical guides
