How We Give Back

Our members play a crucial role at local, national, and global levels each year, dedicating both their time and resources to make a tangible difference to various organisations and communities. Beyond monetary contributions, our members actively engage in volunteer work, making a significant impact in their communities.

Charitable Donations

Our Lodge regularly contributes to local and national charities, supporting causes from medical research to disaster relief, youth programmes, and support for the elderly.

Community Volunteering

Members actively engage in hands-on volunteer work across Teesside — from community clean-ups and food banks to mentoring and supporting local organisations.

Fundraising Events

We host a varied programme of fundraising events throughout the year, including our annual Ladies' Night, charity dinners, and social events where spouses, partners, and families are welcome.

Educational Support

Through the Universities Scheme and educational grants, we support students and young people in higher education, helping them access opportunities for personal and professional growth.
