Giving has always been a core principle of Freemasonry. Individuals give time and money to help others, whether locally, nationally or globally. Today, the Freemason are one of the UK’s top charities raising over £33 million a year from individual donations from Freemasons and their fundraising efforts.
The Masonic Charitable Foundation builds better lives by enabling opportunity, advancing healthcare and education and promoting independence for Freemasons, their families and the wider community.
Funded entirely through the generosity of Freemasons and their families, the Masonic Charitable Foundation is one of the largest grant-making charities in the country.
Freemasons in Northumberland raise money to provide cuddly toys to Accident and Emergency Units in Hospitals across the United Kingdom. When a child is admitted into hospital they are often distressed, and a cuddy toy can help to ease their trauma.
The Teddy helps to distract the child while giving them a friend and someone to hug, while allowing the medical staff to get on with their urgent work.
