“I became a freemason aged 22 and here are just some of the reasons why: Meaningful and worthwhile; Advances the knowledge of oneself and our place in society, in the world, and in the Universe; Supports those in need - locally, nationally and globally - through charitable giving and fundraising; Originated in Medieval times and was formally established in England over 300 years ago; Never discriminates on grounds of race, colour or creed Informs on how to become a better person by acquiring knowledge Camaraderie - friends made in freemasonry are often for life.“
