Where is your money going? 🔍

Between 1 April – 3 June, Freemasons and their families generously donated £756,484 into the Freemasons’ COVID-19 Community Fund! But what will the money be used for?

We know that although life will eventually get back to ‘normal’, for many people the effects of COVID-19 will be felt for months, if not years, to come. Whether that’s job security, housing worries, health issues or coping with bereavement – there will be people in every community that will continue to need support.

📅 This fund is there to support disadvantaged and vulnerable people for the foreseeable future. By funding large-scale projects and initiatives, Freemasonry will continue to have a positive and lasting impact on those who need us most.

How’s your mental health? 💭

Last week, we announced a £250,000 grant to mental health charity, Mind, to help them meet the needs of over a million people who turned to them for support, as a result of social distancing. Read more about how Freemasonry is supporting Mind, here.
