Why become a Freemason?

Every Freemason has his own reason for joining.  For many, Freemasonry acts as a ‘constant’, providing them with a unique combination of friendship, belonging, structure and a moral compass, with many Freemasons saying they have made valuable lifelong friendships. Above all and for most, Freemasonry is simply an enjoyable hobby that will last a lifetime.

Other reasons include:

• Achievement – progressing through the offices in the Lodge to become Master.
  
• Brotherhood – making new friends from all walks of life.
  
• Charity – within you means to contribute to deserving causes, both Masonic and non-Masonic.
  
• Education – learning from peers and mentors by practicing and making speeches.
  
• Knowledge – finding out about the history and mysteries of freemasonry.
  
• Self improvement – making a contribution to your family and society.
