The Grand Charity which provides ongoing financial assistance towards daily living expenses of Freemasons and their dependants. Application forms will be provided by Provincial Office, usually following a Provincial application.

The New Masonic Samaritan Fund which provides hospital treatment and support for Freemasons and their dependants. This may be arranged locally. Application may be through Provincial Office but a telephone call to 020 7404 1550 will usually get the application forms in the post to you. A decision will usually be given within two weeks of the completed forms being returned by you.

The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution which administers residential and nursing homes for Freemasons and their dependants. It provides annuities for those who qualify and care in the community if required. Application should normally be made through Provincial Office. Short time stays to provide a break for Carers may be arranged when circumstances allow. Direct contact with the Home concerned will quickly establish the details.

The Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys which satisfies the educational needs and preparation for life of young dependants of Freemasons as their fathers would have done. Application should be via Provincial Office and made as quickly as possible. Any delay only increases the considerable stress under which the young orphans are placed.
