Masonic Charity

The three principles of Freemasonry are

1. Brotherly Love
2. Relief
3. Truth

As such, all masons are encouraged to give, within their means and without detriment to themselves and their families, to masonic charities. We do this in a variety of ways but at no time do we ask the general public for money. Usually there is an "Alms" collection during or after a meeting and often we hold a raffle at the after proceedings. In recent years Hamtun Lodge has supported the following non-masonic causes:

1. Alzheimers Association
2. Royal Marsden Hospital
3. Children's Hospital
4. Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff
5. Faith and Football, Wildern School
6. Enterprise Challenge 08
7. RN Lifeboat Institution
8. Naomi House

There is a very useful article on charitable giving on the Provincial website.
