Charity & Giving

Money give to charitable causes by Freemason entities are collected solely from Freemasons themselves. Masonic donations are not obtained from the public, however the charities we support are certainly NOT exclusive to supporting other freemasons.

Personal Giving

During the meal of our regular meeting a donation is made by each brother as they see fit. This is donated, on each occasion, to a charity chosen by the Master. This normally ranges between £100-£300/Meeting.

Recent charities Greville Lodge have supported included:

Brethren can also contribute by regular giving to one of the Masonic charities below.
