Freemasons in Herefordshire play an important role in helping the local community dedicating both their time and resources to make a tangible difference to various good causes within the local area.
Two examples are the Freemasons of Loyal Hay Lodge in Hay on Wye donating £1,300 to the local Dial-a-Ride to support the community transport charity and Vitruvian Lodge in Ross on Wye donating £500 to the Royal British Legion to help fund a project to convert trikes for veterans with physical challenges.
