The Masonic Charitable Foundation (MCF) stands as a cornerstone of Freemasonry’s commitment to making a difference. Each year this remarkable organisation transforms lives by supporting Freemasons, their families, and local communities with a focus on creating opportunities, fostering independence, and enhancing wellbeing.

In its 2023/24 report, the MCF revealed a staggering £26.3 million in grants awarded nationwide—an awe-inspiring testament to its impact. These funds touched the lives of some of the most vulnerable in society with 3,000 individuals and their families receiving over 4,500 grants totalling £13.7 million. Local and national charities also benefited significantly with £5.7 million awarded to support an estimated 379,000 people.

Middlesex – A Province to Be Proud Of

Closer to home Middlesex was a shining star in this year’s achievements. The MCF granted a phenomenal £96,039 to charities within the Province, making a tangible difference in the community. But the generosity didn’t stop there:

  • £262,644 was provided directly to individuals and families.
  • £55,061 was allocated to support with living costs.
  • £50,734 went towards the education of children and young people.
  • £156,848 was dedicated to healthcare and wellbeing, including funding mental health support for 11 individuals.

That’s a combined total of over £620,000 directly benefiting Middlesex brethren, their families, and local causes.

Generosity and Dedication

These achievements underscore the incredible power of collective effort. None of this would be possible without the unwavering generosity and dedication of Freemasons across the country. Every fundraising event, every donation, and every act of kindness has contributed to this monumental success.

So, let’s take a moment to celebrate our Middlesex Province and the profound impact it has had this year. Brethren, your commitment is a beacon of hope and charity, shining brightly in our communities. Together, we exemplify the true spirit of Freemasonry making the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time.

WoW indeed! Middlesex, take a bow—you’ve truly done us all proud!
