The values of Freemasonry are based on integrity, kindness, honesty and fairness. Freemasons are taught to practice charity and to care, not only for their own, but also for the community as a whole – both by charitable giving, and by voluntary efforts and works as individuals. From its earliest days, Freemasonry has been concerned with the care of orphans, the sick and the aged. This work continues even today. Additionally, we address national and local contingencies in times of need. Masonic Charity is organized charitable support within Freemasonry – caring and spending time and not just money – freely and confidentially given by every able Brother in aid of the sick, aged and needy. Every Mason is encouraged to give generously within his means and without detriment to himself or his family, through Alms collections, gift aid etc. Unlike many other organisations, Freemasons never ask the general public for money, do not make street collections nor public appeals. |
