Monmouthshire Freemasons sponsor Healthcare Professional of the Year
Monmouthshire Freemasons proudly sponsor the Healthcare Professional of the Year category. The Freemasons, an ancient social and charitable organisation with more than 300 years of history, are based in the Masonic Province of Monmouthshire. This province consists of 11 halls and 29 lodges, spanning an area roughly equivalent to the old county of Gwent. The organisation is rooted in the traditions of medieval stonemasons, with its core values being integrity, friendship, respect, and service.

The Freemasons are keen to highlight the importance of service, which is at the heart of their organisation. Members contribute through fundraising for charitable causes or volunteering for public or community organisations by donating their time, resources, and skills. Community engagement is a central tenet of their philosophy. Monmouthshire Freemasons said: "Freemasons, as caring members of our communities, will seek to engage and support them, both locally and nationally, be it with a kind word, a practical helping hand, or with financial assistance through our charitable fundraising activities."
