North Wales 2028 Festival Appeal
The MCF is funded predominantly through the generosity of Freemasons and their families. The bulk of that income (circa 70%) comes from Provinces in Festival, hence it is important that Freemasons across the Province of North Wales all play a part in giving something back. The Fund-Raising Appeal for the North Wales Festival Appeal (launched on 1st April 2022) runs for 6 years, ending in June 2028.
The Festival Launch Brochure explains why Freemasons should consider supporting our Festival Appeal, the work of the Masonic Charitable Foundation (particularly in North Wales), how we can get involved and how to donate.

The Appeal was formally launched on 1st April 2022 when our Provincial Grand Master accompanied by his Deputy Provincial Grand Master, Assistant Provincial Grand Master and the Provincial Grand Charity Steward rode the Velocity Zip Wire at Zip World.
“Fundraising for the MCF is vital to the continuance of their support to us all and I am proud to launch our 2028 Festival, and to commit us to raising £2.5 million which will make such a difference to the lives of Freemasons, their families and those in need in our wider society. I am sure we will all contribute and participate with the same determination, and enthusiasm as previous Festivals.”
"Whilst we all hope to enjoy our fund-raising activities, we must never forget that at the end of every grant there is a child, an adult or a family, who need our help. We have all been well-coached on the importance of Charity, and now it is our turn to do our bit, and give something back
— John Charles Hoult, Provincial Grand Master
