Co-Freemasonry was brought to England in 1902 by Annie Besant, who was responsible for spreading Co-Freemasonry Principles to many other countries throughout the world. Long before women gained the right to vote, Annie Besant was a well-known activist for equality and justice, particularly for women and young children and recognised for her work regarding the plight of the Match Girls in London. Over the last 80 years, the CMBF has provided help and support to many good causes, from our base in Hexagon House, Surbiton. Following the principals and values we share and acting as a light in the world. If you feel you could help in any way toward the aims of the CMBF please do get in contact. Being a registered charity, we are driven, not by profit but by our commitment to the communities that are in need.
