Freemasonry’s support for Ukraine: one year on

In just over a year, we have awarded over £1.1million to charities supporting those affected by the war in Ukraine. Thanks to the generosity of Freemasons, their families and friends, these organisations received vital funds to support people in Ukraine and in the UK.
