Members of the Order of Women Freemasons once again joined with members of the United Grand Lodge of England London Freemasons to parade through the streets of the City of London in the 2023 Lord Mayor's Parade when around 150 groups and floats take part in a three mile-long procession to mark the Lord Mayor’s first full day in office. 
 
The UGLE London Freemasons have committed to raising £3 million for London’s Air Ambulance Charity and London’s Air Ambulance Charity is proud to announce that the London Freemasons, long-term supporters of the charity, have pledged to make the largest single donation of their helicopter fundraising appeal . The Freemasons have had a long-standing relationship with the charity and their support over the years has enabled the service to be there for approximately 11,000 Londoners since 2016. 

“To see our Temple almost full to capacity with such a mixed and colourful attendance was actually quite breathtaking”  

Order of Women Freemasons (OWF) Brethren and MW Bro Christine Chapman, Grand Master of the Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons, were recently invited to attend an event organised by the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) Leeds and District Installed Masters Lodge at which MW Bro Chapman gave her talk ‘Women’s Freemasonry – Fact not Fiction’. 
 
After the men’s formal lodge meeting was closed and their guests were brought into the lodge room the three OWF Grand Inspectors from the Yorkshire Areas, OWF Grand Lodge brethren and MW Bro Chapman were escorted in full regalia into the lodge by the men. Approximately 80 UGLE members and their guests warmly welcomed the sight of women freemasons in full regalia and enjoyed learning about our history and how we work along the same principles of male freemasonry. The organisers of the event have said “To see our Temple almost full to capacity with such a mixed and colourful attendance was actually quite breathtaking”.
