Our aims

The Cornwallis East Kent Freemasons’ Charity aims to be the face of Masonic Charity in the community. It seeks to maximize the benefit of the money that it gives to our local communities by not just sending a cheque, but by giving the recipient charity the opportunity of the greatest exposure so that others will recognise the wonderful work which that charity actually does.

About us

Where it began

The Cornwallis name has long been associated with Kentish Freemasonry.

Three generations of the family, each a Baron have carried out high public office, served in the military and in senior civic positions and of course Freemasonry where they have occupied some of the most senior offices. Their combined contribution to our country, the county of Kent and Freemasonry is unlikely to be surpassed. We are proud therefore to name our charity in their honour.
