One of the basic tenets of Freemasonry is Relief, more commonly known as Charity, and from the earliest times Freemasons have been taught to help those in distress without detriment to themselves or their dependents, and to give their support to outside charities.

This is a core element of the Widows Sons Scotland MRA and we work closely with the Grand Lodge of Scotland in supporting it’s various charities along with various other national & local charities and multiple good causes throughout the country. 

Each year the North Chapter supports our Nominated National Charity, The Scottish Air Ambulance and various other Local Charities and Good Causes throughout our Area.

Between 2019 & 2023 Widows Sons Scotland MRA have donated in excess of £40000 to various charities and good causes, Details of North Chapters main donations can be found below, we do have ad-hoc whip rounds and collections when we’re out on the road or visiting lodges, but these aren’t recorded below.
