Benevolence
Charity – one of the 3 fundamental principles of Freemasonry is administered in our Province by the Durham Masonic Benevolent Fund, registered charity number 279313.
The Provincial Benevolent Committee consists of an elected member from every Lodge in the Province and minutes of our quarterly meetings and many other forms and reports of our activity are available for information on this website.
As a charity with assets over £8m we are very proud of our low administrative costs mainly due to the time and experience freely given by so many dedicated and enthusiastic Freemasons and by our employed staff in Provincial office.
Our 2 residential housing properties at Fulwell, Sunderland and Bishop Auckland are flagships of our organisation and we hope the information on these facilities and our other charitable work is of interest to all who visit the site.
As the website develops we intend for it to become the primary and most comprehensive source of information and documentation for our Benevolent Committee Representatives, Beneficiaries and others who seek information or assistance from us.
To contact the the committee please email: benevolence@pgldurham.org
