Freemasons practise charity and care, not only for their own fraternity, but also for the community as a whole - both by charitable giving and by voluntary work as individuals.

Lodge of Rapport is a keen supporter of charity and each year donates significant funds to local charities. Funds are raised by members at our meetings through the year as well as special functions such as our annual Spit Roast social night.

Each year our Social Committee makes recommendations to the Lodge as to charities that they feel worthy of support and funds raised during the year are donated accordingly.

Members have also provided unpaid work for the Masonic Task Force on projects such as “Tools for East Timor” which involved collection of unused tools such as saws, hammers, axes etc from the general public (with the fantastic support of Bunnings stores around the state). These tools were then cleaned at regular working bees and packed in shipping containers for delivery to East Timor.
