Charitable work is at the heart of Freemasonry. Individual Masonic Lodges tend to give to deserving causes in their local area or with which they have a particular affinity. The Provincial Grand Charity of Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire donates to good causes, both nationally and locally. The Province also supports the Masonic Charitable Foundation - the national Masonic charity. For more informstiion, click here. Support is also given to charities such as the Masonic Trout and Salmon Fishing Charity (MTSFC) which is a Registered Charity and has the aim ‘to bring an interactive fishing and countryside experience to people with Special Needs’. This includes disabled and disadvantage children, young people and adults. |
Masonic Housing Association
The Masonic Housing Association (MHA) provides rented accommodation of a high standard for elderly persons who can generally lead an independent life, but would benefit by the help of a Resident Warden in an emergency. It is a Housing Association and has received public subsidy. Rents are below market levels and MHA takes both masonic and non-masonic residents.
Palmer Court in Wellingborough is a local example of such a sheltered housing scheme run by the MHA.
