Family First, Work Second and Freemasonry Third
Look after those less fortunate, improve yourself and live life well...
Freemasonry means different things to each of us who join. For some, it`s about making new friends and acquaintances, gaining a new network of support. For others it`s about helping deserving causes – making a contribution to family and society, or stepping onto a new path of discovery or enlightenment. But for most, it`s also an enjoyable hobby.
Freemasonry is open to men of all religions and backgrounds. Politics is not discussed, nor is religion or beliefs, or the subject of, as these are personal to each and every Mason.
Our Guiding Principles
What do Freemasons believe? For Freemasons, there are four important values that help define their path through life: Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Service. In today’s world filled with uncertainty, these principles ring as true now as they have at any point in the organisation’s history.
Freemasonry in Yorkshire, West Riding
It is NOT a secret society. It is a society with secrets, which are just ways by which we know that someone else is a Mason. They are like knowing the code for the car park barrier at the golf club, only of interest if you`re a member at that club! Freemasons are quite open about their membership but the mode of recognition between Freemasons is kept secret. We raise huge amounts of money for charities both Masonic and non-masonic. Members give entirely according to what they can afford without any pressure.
