Freemasonry - one of the world’s oldest secular fraternal societies. It is a society that is concerned with moral and spiritual values.
Freemasonry is founded on four guiding principles: Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Service.
Membership is open to people from all backgrounds and our aim is to empower members to be the best they can be – it’s about building character, making new friendships, supporting members as individuals and helping them make a positive contribution to society.
The North and East Ridings of Yorkshire are home to nearly 100 Lodges spread throughout the region. As well as traditional Lodges a growing number of specialist Lodges, including for members or past members of the armed forces, sports, motoring, for fans of motorbikes, or for those with connections to scouting, and Lodges with a focus on younger Masons, are to be found in the Province.
Freemasons are focused on building themselves as people of integrity, and membership provides the structure to help achieve that goal. Being a Freemason gives members a sense of purpose, supporting and guiding them on their journey through life. Collectively, members are bonded through an understanding of unity and equitability – principles fundamental to Freemasonry.
