This is NOT a political post but one to inform our many older Freemasons.

An official petition calling for the personal tax allowance to be increased to £18,000 has been started, putting renewed pressure on the government over the frozen income tax threshold.

The personal allowance has remained at £12,570 since 2021 and will not rise until April 2031 but I guess that will be changed too.

Its prolonged freeze means that as wages increase, more workers are pulled into income tax through fiscal drag. This affects basic state pensioners now too. Many people who have worked all their life will have a state pension and a work pension which means you WILL already be paying tax on part of it.

This WILL affect you and your families. Please consider signing the petition.

Since 2021 personal tax allowance has been frozen at £12,570. This freeze was due to expire this year but the Chancellor of the Exchequer has extended it to 2031. We want to keep some more of our own money.

Independent article about Freemasonry in the Metro newspaper.

Metro was invited into the United Grand Lodge of England by the Freemasons, who have been at the centre of wild conspiracies for centuries.

Teddies for Loving Care

Hospital visits can be incredibly scary for little ones, especially in emergencies. The TLC scheme provides cuddly teddy bears to children in A&E units to help soothe their anxiety, give them comfort, and brighten an otherwise stressful day. Best of all? Every child who gets a teddy gets to take it home forever!
​Since 2001, Freemason volunteers have helped distribute a massive 4 million teddies across England and Wales. We are honored to play a small part in keeping that comfort going for children when they need it most.
