The Masonic Charitable Foundation

The Masonic Charitable Foundation through their Later Life Inclusion grants, are supporting local and national charities that help older people to overcome whatever barriers they face and actively participate in their communities.

Whether financial hardship, care responsibilities, or a decline in physical or mental health, older people can face social isolation for many reasons. Our support aims to make sure that services are available to support the physical and emotional needs of people as they age, including access to healthcare, transport and technology.
