Show Notes

Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth - three fundamental principles of Freemasonry and three areas highlighted to us as we enter this wonderful fraternity.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into 'Relief' and are joined by Worshipful Brother, Mickey Labana, our Provincial Grand Charity Steward as we explore what is going on nationally and locally with masonic charities and how we all play an integral part.

We also look at how 'charity' isn't just about giving of money but also of ourselves and our time and Mickey highlights F.O.C.U.S - the 5 year strategy to highlight the good Freemasonry brings to society through our charitable efforts.
