Why Freemasonry?

Character Building

As you progress through the degrees of Freemasonry, the personal development can be very rewarding. While Freemasonry can help good men become better men, only men of upstanding character are permitted to join.
Socialising

Freemasonry as a fraternity engages people of all ages, from tradesmen to monarchs. Whatever your status in life, Freemasonry provides an invaluable network of like-minded people, never short of a social event to attend.
Charity

From its very earliest days Freemasonry has actively supported charity. Although charity is not its primary function, significant sums of money are regularly donated to worthwhile national and local good causes.

6m: Masons worldwide
250,000: Masons in England and Wales
6,300: Masons in West Riding Province
£33m+: Raised by Freemasons in England and Wales for good causes each year

Welcome to our website where we aim to continuously update our members and visitors with our latest philanthropic and social activities. Additionally, we hope this platform offers non-masons an insight into our local community involvement, furnishing them with ample information should they be interested in joining our fraternity.
