Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest and largest non-religious, non-political, fraternal and charitable organizations. Its roots lie in the traditions and ceremonies of the medieval stonemasons, builders of cathedrals and castles.
Freemasonry has always been about making good men better. Individuals aim to shape their lives around core values of:
- Integrity: We say what we mean and we keep our promises.
- Kindness: Although our families come first, we believe in playing a key role in our communities and give time and money to charitable ventures.
- Honesty: We pride ourselves on openness, about what being a Freemason means for us.
- Fairness: We treat everyone as equal – we listen to others, explore any differences and look for common ground.
- Tolerance: We respect the opinions of others and behave with understanding towards them.
