Charity is at the very heart of Freemasonry with charity continuing to play a major role in our lodge activities with a range of charities, both local as well as national being supported. This support comes from the goodwill of the brethren themselves and no outside funding is ever sought, nor do we solicit funding through street collections or similar fund raising activities, all donations being made by the brethren directly.
Charities such as Help for Heroes, The Ghurkha Welfare Trust, British Heart Foundation and various cancer charities, are all regularly supported with both national and smaller local charities amongst these.
The brethren of St Christopher Lodge have sought to support many worthy causes over the years and we hope to continue with this assistance in the years ahead.
The lodge as with the remainder of the Province is also supporting the 2016 RMTGB Festival whose aims are the alleviation of poverty of children who have lost one or both parents and by advancing their education and well-being.
In all of this our Central Masonic Charities play a huge role by providing financial support to numerous charities, indeed the Freemasons' Grand Charity is second only to the National Lottery in supporting charitable causes in the UK as well as providing financial support abroad; by following this link The Freemasons Grand Charity-Grants you can access a number of areas of Masonic giving from Air Ambulances to disaster relief which will enable the reader to gain an understanding of our involvement in the wider world of charity giving by Freemasons.
We all face difficult times at present and there are many demands on resources, however, as charily is at the heart of every Freemason we never forget those less fortunate than ourselves.
