The days for deeds are few, my brother,
So today, fulfil your vow,
If you mean to help another,
Do not dream it, do it now.
Freemasons are second only to the National Lottery in providing donations to charity in the United Kingdom. Charitable giving is at the heart of Freemasonry, indeed, a desire to volunteer and give something back, is motivation that attracts many to join Freemasonry.
Berkeley Lodge has a proud tradition from its foundation in supporting charities and individuals both Masonic and Non-Masonic.
The Lodge uses the Relief Chest Scheme administered by The Freemasons Grand Charity where donations are made through the HMRC Gift Aid scheme which is 25% more tax efficient. For every £1 we put in the Government puts in an additional 25pence.
If you think there is a charity or individual worthy of giving then please let us know and it will be seriously considered and voted on.
