Raising funds For the MCF, a small part of what we do.
In the UK today, around 1 in every 120 people – more than 540,000 children, young people and adults – are living with Crohn’s or Colitis, the two main forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. These are lifelong, debilitating conditions that can impact every part of a person’s life. There is no known cure, and complications can, at times, be life-threatening. But there is also hope.
Through the MCF’s
Relief Chest Scheme
, Freemasons have donated nearly £85,000 to
Crohn’s and Colitis UK
to help them reach more people than ever, giving those living with the conditions support, understanding, and a path forward.

Why Join Freemasonry ?

Are you thinking about becoming a Freemason? In addition to joining one of the oldest and most wide-reaching community organizations in the world, becoming a Mason also has many personal benefits.

1. Joining an organisation that is more than 300 years old makes some interesting reading and exploring, there is a huge amount of history and mystery for you to become involved with. When you join you will start to discover its rituals and traditions from whichever lodge you join and you will appreciate just how much has been kept over the years. but don't get me wrong Freemasonry has evolved and has embraced technology to enhance learning and understanding.
