We raise large amounts of money for charity by holding social events, and these also give members the opportunity to get to know each other on an informal basis. Each Worshipful Master selects, during her year of office, a charity particularly dear to her and often local to her lodge. The money raised during her year is shared equally between the charity and the Order's Charities at Grand Lodge. 

 

At our Centenary celebrations in 2008, half a million pounds was presented to two cancer charities. 

 

In 2016-2017 the Order supported Cancer Research’s Race for Life with almost every lodge holding events and taking part in local Race for Life runs. As a result, the sum of £100,000 was presented to Cancer Research in June 2017
