Our work in your community

In Freemasonry, England and Wales is divided into 47 provinces and London, and we support Freemasons, their families, and local and national charities in each of these areas.

Support for local and national charities

Through our grants to local and national charities, Freemasons are helping to tackle some of the most important issues facing society. With grants totalling £5.5 million each year, we are helping thousands of people in local communities to live happy, fulfilling lives and participate more actively in society.
