Governed by trustees
The trustees are drawn from a wide range of professional backgrounds suited to taking on the responsibility of overseeing a substantial financial enterprise. They have considerable experience in running charities. more
Big enough to make a difference
Our charity is the largest UK Masonic charity outside the Grand Charities and we anticipate making payments of £750,000 during the year to deserving causes. Over the years we plan to increase the level of support we can provide but this will be closely linked to the donations we receive.
Gifts to the community
Charitable giving has enabled Freemasons in our Province to provide valuable help in many areas such as gifts to a residential centre for young people, the purchase of land for Sea Scouts, equipment for a judo club, a new building for the use of Scouts, Guides and the community at large; gifts to an Alzheimer society, a children's hospice, an amateur boxing club and many, many more.
Our Logo
The logo is simply a hand guiding a heart. The one hand represents guidance and support to the heart as opposed to two hands which might represent holding or carrying.
The blue colour is that used in the regalia of a Master Mason and the hand enters from the west indicating this western province. The heart represents the guided or supported, be it a charity, cause or individual, the red colour indicating need, hardship or distress.
Manned by volunteers
Keeping costs low means that we have more to give to those in need. We are fortunate in having a team of Masons who give freely of their time peforming all those functions needed to provide advice, process applications, assess needs and ensure speedy relief.
Running a lean ship does not mean skimping on standards, everyone involved is determined to follow best business practice and fully meet the most stringent regulatory requirements ensuring that funds are not only secure but are applied correctly and efficiently.

The West Lancashire Freemasons' Charity is proud to play its part in the wider sphere of Masonic giving where millions of pounds are provided each year for national and international causes, all from the pockets of Freemasons and often unnoticed by the general public.
