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.

In the final episode of our second season, Steve and Ricky are joined by a new mason, Tim Brogan-Shaw, a Fellowcraft who was initiated in November 2025. Between them they explore the topic of ‘Freemasonry 365’ and look into what Freemasonry means to them and how they act and live as masons beyond the lodge room.
The typewriter enabled secretaries to not handwrite summonses and minutes. The ritual book enabled brothers to learn away from lodge, the telephone made it easier for us to stay in touch, the internet gives us access to more knowledge than we will ever find time to consume.
This episode sees us taking a deeper dive into the fourth element of Pure Antient Freemasonry – that of the Royal Arch.
