Making a Difference Together The New Milton Masonic Centre
Charity is at the Heart of Freemasonry
Freemasons support charities, communities and individuals at local, national and international levels. Through personal donations, fundraising events and the work of the Masonic Charitable Foundation, Freemasonry helps provide support where it is needed.
Supporting Our Local Community
At New Milton Masonic Centre, charitable giving begins within our local community.
Our members support local charities, voluntary organisations and good causes through fundraising events, donations and practical assistance.
By working together with our families and supporters, we aim to make a positive difference to the lives of people in New Milton and the surrounding area,
Making a Difference Here in New Milton
Our charitable work can be seen in the support we give to organisations and good causes within our local community.
From donations to local charities and community organisations to fundraising events that bring people together, our members, families and supporters are proud to help make a difference.
Our recent Cricket match with the New Milton Cricket Club was a wonderful family day, bringing members of the local community together.
A donation of £500 was presented to the club to help provide two First Aid Stations and essential safety equipment.
Our annual Ladies Night provides an opportunity to raise funds for local charities and good causes.
Our recent Ladies Night raised funds for Lymington Cat and Kitten Rescue, helping to support their work caring for sick and unwanted animals.

The Festival Appeal
Every Five years, Freemasons across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight come together to support a major Festival Appeal.
The previous Festival which concluded in 2016, raised an outstanding £7 million for charitable causes.
We are currently supporting the latest five -year Festival appeal, which concludes in 2027. Members are encouraged to make a personal commitment to regular giving, with many choosing to contribute £500 over the five- year period
Through these individual commitments, together with fundraising events and Lodge donations, Freemasons across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight continue to make a significant difference to people and communities in need.
Freemasons in the Community
Twice each year, Freemasons in our Province hold “ Freemasons in the Community” events in Lymington and Bournemouth.
Local charities and good causes are invited to join us for an evening where donations are presented and we have an opportunity to learn more about the important work they carry out in our communities.
These events are an important part of our charitable work and help us maintain relationships with the organisations and volunteers working to support local people.
Freemasonry is one of the largest contributors to charitable causes in the country, donating almost £1 Million every week to Charities, local communities and good causes. These donations are funded through the generosity of Freemasons and their families
