The Southend-on-Sea Lodge are part of a group of Lodges that meet in the Southend-on-Sea area of Essex. We were Consecrated on the 10th September 1947.
This May we will be celebrating our 75th anniversary.
Having no political or religious affiliations, we comprise members of all ages, races, religions, cultures and backgrounds.
We meet at the Southend Masonic Centre, Saxon Hall in Aviation Way in Southend where we have ceremonial traditions which encourage us both to be more tolerant and respectful and actively to fulfil our civic and charitable responsibilities;
We also make time to eat, drink and meet together, and form lifelong friendships.
We hope to attract those from all backgrounds and walks of life, enabling them to develop into more thoughtful and confident people. To inspire and challenge them to practise the core values we celebrate – Integrity, Friendship, Respect, Charity – in their private and public lives.
To cement our reputation as a force for good in our communities and society at large and as a thriving organisation that people aspire to join.
Rather than working on buildings like the masons of old, today’s Freemasons focus on building themselves as people of integrity, and membership provides the structure to help achieve that goal.
One of the oldest social organisations in the world, Freemasonry is not defined by an ideology. It is open to people from all religions and political persuasions and provides the common foundation for friendships between members, many of which will last for life.
With a membership of more than 150,000 people drawn from communities across the UK, Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion or any other perceived differences that can divide us as a society.
Kindness and charitable giving are deeply ingrained within the principles of Freemasonry. The organisation provides a support structure that helps members make positive contributions to communities and worthwhile causes through fundraising events or volunteer work.
