Freemasonry: A Tradition of Friendship, Integrity, and Service
Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest and most widely recognised organisations. At its heart, it’s about bringing people together, supporting one another, and making a positive difference in our communities.
​
Our values have guided generations of Freemasons in the UK and beyond. They remain just as relevant today as they were hundreds of years ago.
Integrity
Freemasonry encourages high moral standards. Integrity means acting honestly, keeping promises, and being someone others can rely on. It’s a value that strengthens both our organisation and our individual lives.
Friendship
Freemasonry gives members many opportunities to make a wide circle of friends for life who share common interests and values. It provides a bond of friendship and a sense of belonging. This promotes a feeling of enjoyment and fulfilment.
Respect
Freemasonry is built on mutual respect and support. We come from all walks of life, but share a commitment to look out for one another. Brotherhood means being part of something bigger, with a network of like-minded individuals across the globe.
Service
Every lodge plays an active part in its community – from volunteering and supporting local initiatives, to simply being good neighbours. Service helps us live out our values in everyday life.
