What kind of people does Freemasonry attract?
Well, there isn’t just one type. Our organisation brings together a diverse range of individuals who might never otherwise meet.
There are Freemasons aged from 18 to over 100. There are veterans, emergency service workers, retirees, doctors, plumbers, pilots, builders, teachers, sailors, and many others.
There are people of all races, from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. Christians, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, Vegans, Pescatarians, Conservatives, Liberals, Homosexuals, Heterosexuals and the list goes on, and on.
In fact, there are over 170,000 Freemasons across the UK, and we all have unique backgrounds and beliefs! Yet, despite all of our differences, we always find plenty in common with our fellow members, and we all found our place in Freemasonry,
Our organisation brings like-minded people together to make a positive difference in our respective communities. We support one another, help each other improve, make lasting friendships and contribute to good causes.
Freemasons understand that although we are all different, we are all equal, and Freemasonry is open to anyone of good character who wants to make a difference.
We warmly welcome anyone’s interest in our wonderful community, and we love sharing the many positive aspects of Freemasonry with others. So, if you have any questions, just ask!
