Charity & Community
Freemasons are the second-largest charitable donors in the United Kingdom after the National Lottery. Dormer Lodge plays its full part.
Our charitable work
Charity, or relief, is one of the three great principles of Freemasonry. Every regular meeting includes an opportunity for members to contribute to charitable causes, and the Lodge supports a range of local, Provincial and national charities throughout the year.
For details of the causes currently supported by the Province and updates on Cheshire's charitable activity, see the Province of Cheshire website.
