WHO ARE FREEMASONS?
Freemasons are one of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world, with roots that lie with the medieval stonemasons that built our castles and cathedrals, yet it is as relevant today as it was hundreds of years ago.
Freemasonry is open to people of all backgrounds and our aim is to allow a person to be the best that they can be.
Freemasons use four important guiding principles to help define their path through life: Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Charity.
Integrity
Freemasons are focused on building themselves as people of integrity and membership provides the structure to help achieve that goal.
Friendship
Freemasonry provides the common foundation for friendships between members, many of which will last for life.
Respect
Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion or any other perceived differences that can divide us as a society.
Charity
Kindness and charitable giving are deeply ingrained within the principles of Freemasonry and the organisation provides the structure for members to make positive contributions to their communities and various causes.
