Centre Festival Team
Start your Middlesex 2031 Journey
Invite a Centre Festival Team Member to Your Meeting
One of the best ways to introduce the Middlesex 2031 Festival is through a visit from a Centre Festival Team member. These visits help bring the Festival message directly to Lodges and Chapters, giving members a clear understanding of what the Festival is about and how they can take part.
Who are Centre Festival Team Members?
Centre Festival Team members are Middlesex Freemasons who form part of the wider 2031 Festival team. Each member is linked to specific Masonic centres and is available to visit Craft Lodges and Royal Arch Chapters throughout the Province.
Their role is to act as a local point of contact and to help ensure that every centre is fully informed and engaged with the Festival.
What happens during a visit?
During a regular meeting, the Centre Festival Team member will ask for a short opportunity to speak—normally following the Charity Steward’s report. They will outline the background to the 2031 Festival, explain its objectives, and highlight how Lodges, Chapters, and individual members can become involved.
The contribution is brief and designed to fit comfortably into your agenda, usually lasting around 10 minutes.
Festival Jewels and Lapel Pins
Members who wish to subscribe to the Festival can do so during the visit. The Centre Festival Team member will be available before and after the meeting to assist with subscriptions and will present festival jewels to qualifying members, along with a lapel pin.
Festival jewels may be worn in both Craft and Royal Arch meetings.

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
Here it is as a single block of pure text with no line breaks:
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.
