The Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys is a charity funded by Freemasons which aims to relieve poverty and advance education for children and young people.
In addition to our main grant-making work, we also support young people with exceptional talents and those who need financial assistance in order to embrace life-changing opportunities.

What are Festivals?
Each year one of the Masonic Provinces concludes a Festival in support of our work.
In the years leading up to the Festival, an Appeal is held in the Province. The members of the Province, led by the Provincial Grand Master, are encouraged to support us throughout the Appeal.
In most cases the Appeal will have lasted for around five years and will have involved a great deal of hard work on the part of the members of the Province.
The money raised during the Appeal makes a significant contribution to our income and allows us to continue our life-changing work.
At the Festival, traditionally attended by Festival Stewards and their wives or partners, the total raised by the Province is announced in the presence of one of the High Rulers.
Traditionally, the Festival event will also feature speeches by the Provincial Grand Master, our President and the High Ruler as well as a range of entertainment and a formal drinks reception and dinner.

The following Masonic Provinces are currently holding a Festival Appeal to support our work:
