Join South Wales University Freemasonry
For students, staff, and alumni aged 18+ in South Wales
We’re a friendly, long-established community that’s been thriving for over 300 years. Open to people from all walks of life — whatever your background, faith, or culture — we come together in local Lodges to enjoy our traditions and encourage each other to grow as respectful, thoughtful citizens.
With a history spanning over 300 years, Freemasonry is one of the world’s most enduring secular, social and charitable organisations. Its roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built the castles and cathedrals that still shape our landscape.
At its heart are four timeless values — Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Service — which offer guidance for Freemasons in all aspects of life. In an uncertain world, these principles remain as important as ever.
Membership is open to men aged 18 and over from all backgrounds. Our aim is to help you grow as an individual, make lifelong connections, and give back to the community.
Here in South Wales, students can discover a welcoming, supportive environment where they can develop new skills, form lasting friendships, and contribute to society. Freemasonry also plays a vital role in charitable work — donating nearly £1 million every week across the UK to support a diverse range of worthy causes.
If you’d like to know more about Freemasonry in South Wales, we’d love to hear from you.
Freemasonry is founded on timeless values — integrity, friendship, respect, and charity — that continue to inspire everything we do. Every week, we contribute around £1 million to charitable causes across the UK, making a real and lasting difference to communities and individuals.
If you’re a student in the area, this is your chance to be part of something meaningful. Beyond financial support, we encourage our members to give their time, skills, and energy — whether helping at community projects, raising funds, or simply offering a listening ear.
By joining us, you’ll connect with like‑minded people, grow personally and professionally, and help shape a tradition that has been thriving for over 300 years. You’ll make friendships that last long after your time at university, and gain invaluable experience as you live and share our values.
