Freemasonry is about helping others through action, charity, and care.
At Lodge Southern Cross, community isn’t something we talk about it’s something we live. Our members are active in local initiatives, support charities, and show up for one another in times of need. Whether through organised campaigns or small acts of kindness, we’re proud to carry the Masonic spirit of brotherly love and relief into the world around us.
Our work with Taldumande
Lodge Southern Cross is proud to support Taldumande Youth Services, an organisation that provides safety, shelter, and support to vulnerable and homeless young people across Sydney.
Taldumande offers crisis accommodation, transitional housing, and tailored support programs for young people aged 12 to 21. Their work helps ensure that youth in need are not only cared for in the moment, but also guided toward long-term stability and independence.
Our partnership with Taldumande reflects one of Freemasonry’s core principles: Relief offering compassion, practical help, and dignity to those in need.
Psychs on Bikes
Psychs on Bikes is an organisation of mental health professionals raising awareness of mental health issues in rural and remote communities. We have a passion for our work in the mental health industry and a desire to reduce the burden of mental illness in rural Australia. We also have a passion to ride motorbikes. Focusing on mental health, we visit communities in rural and remote Australia providing support, advice, awareness seminars as well as free health checks.
Masonic Care
Masonicare is the official charitable arm of Freemasons NSW & ACT, dedicated to helping communities thrive through compassion, relief, and practical support. Operating as a registered not-for-profit organisation, Masonicare partners with local Lodges to deliver funding, resources, and emergency assistance to individuals and families in need.
Their work spans aged care support, community development projects, disaster relief, health initiatives, and educational scholarships, always guided by the Masonic values of charity, care, and service.
