A Message from R W Bro David Allan ProProvGM
Our Festival, Our Future
The Middlesex 2031 Festival is more than a fundraising appeal, it is our shared commitment to compassion, unity, and the enduring spirit of Freemasonry.
Rooted in the values of charity, brotherhood, and service, this Festival is a living expression of how we care for one another and for the communities we serve. This is our opportunity to show that Freemasonry is a force for good, not only in our Lodges and Chapters, but in our homes, our families, and across society.
Every contribution made, every event attended, and every act of generosity helps build a legacy of support for those facing hardship, illness, or need. Together with the Masonic Charitable Foundation, we are making a real difference, supporting families, empowering young people, and caring for the vulnerable.
But just as importantly, this Festival celebrates the people who walk beside us: our partners, families, and friends who sustain and strengthen us on our Masonic journey. Their presence reminds us that our greatest strength lies in unity. As we begin this Festival, let us do so with purpose.
Let us make it known that Middlesex stands together, with pride, with compassion, and with a vision for a brighter, kinder future.

Middlesex - A Province to be proud of
Middlesex Shines Bright
Since 1 April 2020, the end of our last Festival, The Masonic Charitable Foundation (MCF, the Freemasons’ charity) has granted phenomenal support for Middlesex Freemasons and their families, with 448 grants made, totalling £1,567,337.
This remarkable assistance includes:
- £360,005 for children, young people and education
- £367,135 for health, care and wellbeing
- £840,197 for daily living costs
But the generosity didn’t stop there. In addition, Middlesex has continued to make a powerful impact in the wider community. Since April 2020, 53 grants have supported 46 local charities, providing a further £444,476 in funding.
That’s a combined total of £2,011,813 directly benefiting Middlesex Freemasons, their families, and local causes. A remarkable testament to the compassion, generosity, and commitment that define our Province.
These achievements underscore the incredible power of collective effort. None of this would be possible without the unwavering generosity and dedication of Freemasons across the country. Every fundraising event, every donation, and every act of kindness has contributed to this monumental success.
Generosity and Dedication
So, let’s take a moment to celebrate our Middlesex Province and the profound impact it has had this year. Brethren, your commitment is a beacon of hope and charity, shining brightly in our communities.
Together, you embody the very essence of Masonic charity by making the world a better place through thoughtful stewardship and heartfelt care, one act of kindness at a time.
Thank you, Middlesex , your service has made us all proud.
