Freemasons Charity - Purley Lodge support both Masonic and local charities in Surrey
Charity and benevolence are a universal characteristic of Freemasons. Apart from caring for Freemasons, their wives, widows and children, external charities and good causes benefit greatly from Masonic donations from around the country. It is a little known fact that Freemasonry is one of the largest organization to give to charities behind the UK National Lottery! Masonic actions speak louder than words!
Purley Freemason Lodge has supported a number of Masonic charities and non Masonic charities in and around the county of Surrey for many years. One of latest donations of £500 was donated to Whitgift Snap in Croydon
