“The Masonic Samaritan Fund provides medical assistance to needy Freemasons and their dependants.
 The Province of Warwickshire is proud to support this fund. Let us together attain and even exceed our goal for the 2012 Festival.”

A Message from David F Macey Provincial Grand Master

We hope that our web site will tell you more about Freemasonry in general and the Province of Warwickshire in particular.
Within this Province we have 4,500 members meeting in 190 Lodges at 17 different locations. This will enable you to find
somewhere close to where you live or work.
Freemasonry is a fraternal society that expects a high standard of personal conduct of its members and it promotes
Fellowship, Charity and Integrity as well as care and concern for the family and the wider community.
 I do hope that you enjoy browsing and ask you to contact us should you have any further questions

The MSF is still a young charity. Established in 1990 it seeks to provide medical assistance to
 needy Freemasons, their families and dependants who are unable to obtain NHS treatment
 without undue delay, and who cannot afford private treatment without suffering further hardship.

The Fund has supported treatment for well over 6,000 individuals ranging in age from 2 to 104
. Whilst many of the conditions funded via the MSF may be associated with advancing years - hip
 and knee joint replacements, cataracts and prostate problems - funding can be available for
 everything from scans to major heart surgery. In each of the last three years approximately 50%
of the funds allocated have been for the wives, widows and dependants of Freemasons.

This is clearly a worthwhile cause. The Brethren of Warwickshire are renowned for their generosity
 and I am sure that the target I have set for the Province of £3.5m could well be exceeded.
