Northants & Hunts Masons

A chance to put something back ……..
…….. and Freemasonry is a great vehicle for doing this. Masons give their time, skills and money to help organisations such as hospices and air ambulances.
Principles of honesty, fairness, kindness at it’s heart ……..
…….. these are at the core of Freemasonry and lead many to become members. Why would you not want to be part of an organisation that is built around these values?
What is it about Freemasonry ……..
…….. that makes more than 250,000 men in England & Wales and more than 6,000,000 worldwide want to be part of this organisation that is nearly 300 years old?
It’s friendly, fun and sociable to be a Freemason ……..
…….. we have fun and make life-long friendships with people from all walks of life.
We’re all inclusive ……..
…….. and a tolerant, diverse fraternity that does not discriminate against members and prospective members because of their religion, race or nationality.
Learn something new ……..
…….. as many have found they have learned new skills as Freemasons - from organising events, managing finances to fundraising and developing confidence as public speakers.
Tradition, Heritage & Culture ……..
…….. Freemasonry is 300 years old in 2017. It’s principles have stood the test of time. Its heritage and culture is part of the social history of our country.
