The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution
The RMBI has been caring for older Freemasons and their dependants for over 160 years, and operates 17 residential care homes across England and Wales offering high quality care.

Masonic Samaritan Fund
The Masonic Samaritan Fund is a grant making charity that supports Freemasons and their dependants who have an identified medical need and, faced with a long wait for treatment, are unable to afford their own private care.
