Charity at Freemasons’ Hall

Freemasons’ Hall is a registered charity under SCIO guidelines (No. SC051879), and operates as such. Below you will find a list of the types of charity work often undertaken by members and Lodges alike.

Local Community

Freemasons’ Hall and the Lodges within are committed to supporting the local community through charitable donations. This includes contributions to local charities, community centres, initiatives, and various causes within Aberdeen. We aim to address local needs, support the underprivileged, and enhance the overall well-being of the community, reflecting the Freemasons’ core values of charity, compassion, and service to others.


Wider Impact

Beyond local contributions, our charitable impact extends nationally through coordinated efforts with The Grand Lodge of Scotland. This includes supporting national charities, large-scale community projects, and responding to wider societal needs across the country. By engaging in initiatives like national fundraising campaigns and providing grants through our Benevolence Funds, we strive to make a positive difference not only in Aberdeen but throughout Scotland, upholding our commitment to charity and community service on a broader scale.


Grand Lodge of Scotland

In addition to our own charitable causes, The Grand Lodge of Scotland actively engages in various philanthropic initiatives, including offering charity grants, organizing fundraising events, and managing the Grand Lodge Benevolence Fund. These efforts provide additional support and resources, enhancing the charitable work of Lodges throughout Scotland. For more information on their charitable activities, please visit their website!

Interested in our various Lodges and their unique contributions?

Within Freemasons’ Hall, every Lodge is dedicated to charitable work, each pursuing its own unique goals, connections, and initiatives aimed at benefiting society and providing relief to those in need. Each Lodge maintains its own benevolence fund, offering them the independence to choose their charitable causes and the flexibility to collaborate with a wide range of individuals and organisations. This approach empowers the Lodges to make a meaningful impact through diverse charitable efforts, all united by the shared Masonic commitment to service and compassion.
