What is freemasonry 

Welcome to Shildon Freemasons! Our organization has been a bastion of brotherhood and moral values for centuries. At its core, Freemasonry is about fostering personal and community growth through a shared commitment to  building unity

Integrity- Rather than working on buildings like the masons of old, today’s Freemasons focus on building themselves as people of integrity, and membership provides the structure to help achieve that goal.

Respect- With a membership of more than 200,000 people drawn from communities across the UK, Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion or any other perceived differences that can divide us as a society.

Friendship- Building together-One of the oldest social organisations in the world, Freemasonry is not defined by an ideology. It is open to people from all religions and political persuasions and provides the common foundation for friendships between members, many of which will last for life

Sevice- Whether participating in events, fundraising for a charitable cause or volunteering for public or community organisations, service is at the very heart of Freemasonry. Our members make valuable contributions by donating time, resources and skills.

We provide a welcoming and supportive atmosphere where men of all backgrounds can come together to improve themselves and the world around them. If you're interested in learning more about our organization and the principles we stand for, please don't hesitate to contact us.
