Lodge Affiliation
Freemasons use four important
guiding principles to help define
their path through life: integrity,
friendship, respect and service.
In today’s world filled with uncertainty, these
principles ring as true as they have at any point in the organisation’s history.
One of the oldest social and charitable
organisations in the world, Freemasonry’s roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles.
Membership is open to people from all
backgrounds and the organisation’s aim is to
empower members to be the best they can
be – it’s about building character, supporting
members as individuals, and helping them
make a positive contribution to society.
Leadership
We have members with many years of Masonic experience and we pride ourselves in careful and planned mentoring of our members, ensuring their path through Freemasonry is as beneficial as possible and supported at every stage.
