Freemasons and Communities

Monday Mar 11, 2024

Monday Mar 11, 2024

Freemasonry has been rooted in Service and carries a rich history of over 300 years of supporting those in need.
Freemasons are catalysts for positive change, continuously making meaningful impacts at community, local, national, and global levels. Whether participating in events, fundraising for a charitable cause or volunteering for public or community organisations, Service is at the very heart of Freemasonry. Our members make valuable contributions by donating time, resources and skills.
In this webinar, we invited Sir David Wootton, the Deputy Grand Master, to discuss the profound meaning of Service for Freemasons and how we can do our part for the upliftment of others.
