Masonic Lodges have been established in Glasgow for centuries.
The Provincial Grand Lodge of Glasgow was constituted in 1739.
Charity
is very close to the hearts of all Freemasons and here in
Glasgow we not only willingly assist our own brethren and their dependants on a
regular basis through monetary grants of immediate and annual ongoing aid but
also have the facility to raise funds for non-Masonic projects.
An example of
which is that over the three years 2001-2004 Glasgow Freemasons have
generously donated over £45,000 in aid of two very worthwhile projects within
the City.
These were the Schiehallion Unit at Yorkhill Hospital where research is being
progressed into Stem Cell Cancer Treatment for Children and the Teenage Cancer
Trust situated at Gartnavel Hospital where progressive treatment is provided. |

Yorkhill Hospital, in dealing with children's cancers, provides great hope,
treatment and care for those youngsters with leukaemia and of course their
families. |
