Freemasons offer a wide range of support to those in need.
Some of the support is achieved by making payments to charitable
organisations, many of which are not masonic but are chosen because of their
location or work in the Province of East Kent.
Support is also offered directly to individuals who have encountered
difficulties in their personal lives.
Lodges and Chapters will make their own donations directly to charitable
organisations or in support of individuals in need, but more serious cases
will be referred to the Provincial Almoner for advice and assistance
It is the job of the Provincial Almoner to assess need and to arrange support
from whatever source may be most appropriate. That support may come from local
funding, national funding or some other agency - or a combination of all
three.
The East Kent Provincial Charities Association is a separately registered
charity which exists to invest and manage charity money until it is paid to
chosen charities - both masonic and non-masonic. Payments for charitable
purposes are made only on the explicit direction of those in whose name the
money is held.
