The Grand Charity is the major channel by which Freemasons in England and Wales provide assistance to "non-Masonic" causes on a National and International scale. And, apart from the National Lottery, the Grand Charity is the UK's biggest charity donor. This is all the more remarkable when you consider that it is funded solely by donations and contributions from Freemasons themselves. It does not raise money from the general public. Click

The British Red Cross has donated £50,000 to the Fund.
The money will be held in a trust and will be distributed by trustees who will be appointed by the Greater London Authority. It will be used to relieve disability or physical and mental sickness caused by the attacks and to help with financial needs. The money may also be used to support other appropriate projects as funds allow.
The Grand Charity cheque was signed and sent to the Fund on 13th July and received by the Fund on Friday 15th July.
