Charity

The practice of charitable giving - both masonic and non-masonic is a very important element of Freemasonry.   What sets Freemasonry apart from other charitable fund raising organisations is that all monies raised is from a mason's own pocket. Freemasonry does not raise money by public appeal.

Anton Lodge is very proud of its charitable achievements in support of Masonic charities and in recognition of its efforts has been awarded:
Grand Patron
Royal Masonic Hospital
1970
Patron
Royal Masonic Institution for Girls
1974
Patron
Royal Masonic Institution for Boys
1984

Grand Patron
New Masonic Samariton Fund
2003
In addition to raising money in support of Masonic Charities, Freemasons have a long tradition of supporting local charities. Anton Lodge is no exception and in 2022 supported local charities, by donating in excess of £2,700.

These charities included:

Countess of Brecknock Hospice
Andover Young Carers
Andover Neighbourcare
