Freemasonry is one of the oldest organisations in the world, it is thought to have evolved from the ancient stonemason guilds of the medieval castle and cathedral building era. Much of the ancient stonemason knowledge is used as allegory in the meetings and ceremonies. The ceremonies promote personal development, moral values, and charity.

Current Freemasonry is a worldwide organization with millions of members. It is governed by grand lodges, such as the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE), which oversee individual lodges and maintain the standards and traditions of the organization. Freemasonry has been instrumental in the development of many social and philanthropic programs around the world.

For Freemasons today, there are four important values that help define their path through life: Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Service. In today’s world filled with uncertainty, these principles ring as true now as they have at any point in the organisation’s history.
