WEST KENT 2026 FESTIVAL

 The West Kent Freemasons care passionately about supporting the needs of the most vulnerable in our communities. 

 In order to do this, and in addition to all our other charitable activities – the West Kent Freemasons have committed to raise £2,502,026 (the 2026 at the end of this amount is the year we will deliver this target!) for the Masonic Charitable Fund. 

In  addition to providing support to Freemasons and their families, the  Masonic Charitable Fund also donates over £5 million a year to local and  national charities.  It receives around 2,500 applications for support,  and funds around 400 different charities every year.

The MCF provides financial support to tackle some of society’s most  important issues through grants to local and national charities, and  partnerships with leading organisations in the sector. 

These include:

• Children and Young People – Grants for supporting disadvantaged children and young people
• Later Life – Grants for supporting socially isolated and lonely older people
• Hospices – Grants supporting hospices across England and Wales
• Funding medical research and disaster relief appeals
