Sussex Freemasons are very proud of having raised £4,104,896.51 for The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution, which was presented to the RMBI President at a Gala Dinner at the Brighton Centre on April 15th 2004. The amount raised represented 164.2% of the original target set back in June 1998 by our then Provincial Grand Master, Ian H. Lay.

Within English Freemasonry there are four main Masonic Charities:

Our next appeal, or ‘Festival’ as it is called in Freemasonry, will be for The Grand Charity.

In the meantime, Sussex freemasons are not resting on their laurels and are supporting 'Sussex 4 Sussex', which is an appeal to raise much needed funds for charities and good causes throughout Sussex, and have already donated over £1,000,000. See our Sussex 4 Sussex page for more information.

It should also be noted that we do not ask the public to support these appeals and all the money donated comes directly from our members.
