The Durham Cornerstone is a vibrant social and educational network aimed at our Light Blue Masons. Your journey with Freemasonry starts from the day of your initiation and you become part of The Durham Cornerstone from day one. It extends across the entire geographic area of the Province of Durham but due to differences in geography, culture and distance, our Province is varied, and this is recognised in its structure. As a result, The Durham Cornerstone is sub divided into four semi-autonomous regional committee led areas, the NE, SE, SW, and NW.

A Steering Group under the direction of the appointed Provincial Chair and including the Provincial Grand Mentor and Provincial Grand Membership Officer connects the Province to the four Cornerstone areas and sets direction and policy. The Steering Group will look to foster an environment where new Brethren can become Engaged in the life of the Province, Discover more about our organisation, Explore their early years in Masonry and Develop as Masons.

Durham Cornerstone will draw on the experience of the Northeast Corner and Light Blues Club as well as other similar successful forums from across UGLE. All Master Masons, Fellow Crafts and Entered Apprentices will automatically become members.

The aim is to encourage inclusion, involvement, and development by engagement through social events for members, non-members their partners and families and to discover all aspects of Masonry through visits to Masonic themed attractions, talks and events. We will encourage visits to Lodges and Chapters and look to develop our new Masons (Craft/RA) by increasing knowledge and skills through learning and development events.
