SERVICE – an essential feature of freemasonry
Freemasonry is one of the biggest providers of charitable support
Freemasonry support for a wide range of causes can be international, national and local. You can read about our most recent support for charities below and visit our archived charity related posts.
The members of the Province of Herefordshire also support a wide range of local charities. These can be county-wide, through the Herefordshire Masonic Charitable Foundation. In additional individual Lodges support their own choices of local charities.
Local charities supported have included The Midlands Air Ambulance, Riding for the Disabled, Breast Cancer Haven, Blackmarston School and many more.
