The work of benevolence
How Lodges turn the principle of relief into practical help.
Relief in the District
Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth are named together in the District Grand Master’s October circular. The District Secretary’s report gives relief a practical meaning through hardship and medical grants.
How Lodges take part
The report records Lodge contributions to the Scottish Masonic Fund of Benevolence. Through a common fund, support from individual Lodges can be directed to those in need.
Speak with the Secretariat
For enquiries about the Fund, charitable work or confidential assistance, contact the District office directly. The public directory lists only the office contact details.
