What we do

West Riding Masonic Charities Limited -  YOUR Charity

West Riding Masonic Charities Limited (WRMCL) is the designated charity of the Masonic Province of Yorkshire, West Riding. It is a Registered Charity and Company limited by guarantee and derives all its funds from the voluntary contributions of Yorkshire, West Riding Freemasons and their families.

West Riding Masonic Charities Limited is dedicated to building better lives for Freemasons, their families, and the wider community. It supports its members and their families when in need by making emergency grants to qualifying Freemasons, their family and dependents, providing Birthday and Christmas gifts to West Riding Beneficiaries and working closely with the Provincial Almoner structure to provide the most appropriate assistance to those in need.

Its Care and Support Officers are available to provide assistance, advice and guidance to beneficiaries, clients and Lodge Almoners within the Province to maximise their support network. It also supports the wider community by responding rapidly to provide emergency assistance for local disasters and awarding grants to charities and organisations that support the most vulnerable in our communities.

Through grants and practical support including offering welfare benefit funding application information, we encourage opportunity, promote independence and improve wellbeing. We award grants to charities and organisations that support the most vulnerable people in our communities. We aim to help the most disadvantaged people in society access the support they need to live happy and fulfilling lives.

Leaving a legacy in your Will is a practical, easy and tax-efficient way for you as an individual to continue to support our charitable work after you are gone and for you to leave a lasting mark on society.
