Charity is at the heart of Freemasonry
The West Kent 2026 Festival is first and foremost, about trying to support the needs of the most vunerable in our communities.
In order to do this, and in addition to all our other charitable activities – the West Kent Freemasons are committed to raise a target of £2,502,026 for the Masonic Charitable Fund by 2026
The West Kent 2026 Festival is now accepting Digital Donations, to make a donation, simply scan the QR code with your smart phone camera and follow the on screen instructions, or if you dont have a smart phone click the link below

In addition to providing support to Freemasons and their
families, the Masonic Charitable Fund also donates over £5 million a year to
local and national charities. It
receives around 2,500 applications for support, and funds around 400 different
charities every year.
The MCF provides financial support to tackle some of society’s most important
issues through grants to local and national charities, and partnerships with
leading organisations in the sector.
These include:
Children and Young People – Grants for supporting disadvantaged children and young people
Later Life – Grants for supporting socially isolated and lonely older people
Hospices – Grants supporting hospices across England and Wales
Funding medical research and disaster relief appeals
The West Kent Freemasons are determined to meet, and exceed, our £2.5m target – but we would really welcome all the help we can get! If you would like to join us in achieving this challenging figure – and also having some fun along the way – please do get in touch, it would be great to have you aboard.
We all know that every generation has lived in uncertain times – our parents and grandparents will tell us that. However, the events of recent years have reminded us that we too live in an unpredictable world – where resources and funding are always in constant demand, and come under the utmost scrutiny.
The purpose of the West Kent Freemasons raising £2.5m is simple – to provide and care for the weakest and most deserving in our communities. Members of The Lodge of Highcroft Crockenhill are proud to take up that challenge – and are confident of achieving our goal.
