On 24th September, two teams of Northumberland Freemasons joined the ranks of 84 golfers at the prestigious Close House Golf Club in Northumberland for theAnnual Cat & Dog Shelter Golf Day. The event, which drew participants from across the region, was a massive success, raising more than £15,000 for the local charity.
A Day of Fellowship and Fundraising
With the sun shining over the stunning course at Close House, the Freemasons fielded two teams of four, each competing not only for a chance at victory on the fairway but to support a cause close to the community’s heart. The Cat & Dog Shelter provides essential care for abandoned and stray animals, and this annual event has become a cornerstone in the shelter’s fundraising efforts.
The Freemasons of Northumberland are known for their commitment to charitable work, and their participation in the event was a testament to their dedication to supporting local causes. The competitive yet friendly atmosphere throughout the day reflected the spirit of camaraderie and giving.
A Tremendous Result for a Worthy Cause
The collective efforts of all 84 golfers, including the Freemasons’ teams, contributed to raising an impressive £15,000. These much-needed funds will go directly towards the shelter’s ongoing operations, including providing medical care, food, and safe housing for countless animals in need across the region.

This event highlights the strong community ties that the Northumberland Freemasons maintain, regularly stepping up to support worthy causes both locally and beyond.
Continuing a Tradition of Giving
The Annual Cat & Dog Shelter Golf Day is just one of many charitable events that the Northumberland Freemasons participate in, continuing a long-standing tradition of giving back to their community. Their involvement in events like these demonstrates their ongoing commitment to making a difference.
We extend our gratitude to all the golfers, supporters, and the team at Close House Golf Club for making this event a resounding success. Congratulations to everyone who took part in a day of fun, fellowship, and, most importantly, charity!
