ABOUT MOOSE

Moose International is a fraternal service organisation.

We endeavour to look after our own Members and give support to others less fortunate than ourselves.
Moose is non-political & non-denominational, in that our Members represent all beliefs & faiths.

We are an open organisation with a desire to help others either within or outside of Moose. To this end our branches (referred to as Lodges) not only support our own internal charitable endeavours, they give support & raise many thousands of pounds for worthwhile local charities and other creditable organisations.

For many years we have adopted a National Charity to support for a period of either two or three years. In 2008 we moved away from this and each of our branches selected a local charity to support for a two year period. This was the start of our "Moose in the Community" programme where it is hoped that the work of Moose International would become better known within the local community. Our aim is that we can become a more active organisation within our local communities and go some way to improving the lives of thoes less fortunate than ourselves.

Whilst we work hard for the benefit of others, we also have fun whilst we are doing it. Many of our fund raising events are by way of social events and to most of these families are welcome to attend. Moose International has been carrying out its good works since it was first established here in Great Britain in 1926 and since that time we have raised millions of pounds in our quest to help others.

MEMBERSHMembership of Moose International is open to both men and women who are over the age of 21 years. There are both men’s and women’s sections, the men’s section being referred to as the “Lodge” and the women’s section as the “Ladies Circle”. Whilst both have their own constitutions, often the meetings are joint, as are almost all of the social activities. Most social events are for all the family and offer a safe environment for children. By being a member of Moose you will become part of a 1.5 million group of people worldwide who support the ideals and purposes of our organisation, these being that the fit and the strong help the young, the sick and the senior members of our organisation as well as helping charitable groups and good causes within our communities. That sounds like a lot of hard work, but be assured it is not, as most of our fund raising events take the form of social activities and events that gives enjoyment to all. With our organisation other than your annual membership subscriptions, you are not required to give any set financial contributions, nor are you required to meet a minimum attendance level (Unless you hold an Office). Support of social events and fund raising activities are encouraged, but you decide what support you want to, or are able, to give. If the thought of being a member might appeal to you, please feel free to contact your local branch. This can be done by clicking on the link to ~ UK Regions ~ you will be welcomed to visit the branch to meet the people and to see for yourself who we are and what we do. For those of you who may live in areas where we have no branches, membership of our organisation is available via our “Lodge of Protection” details of this can be obtained by contacting us using the link at the foot of this page.

So it’s all to gain and nothing to lose ~ it just takes one e-mail or a phone call to start what could be one of the best things you have ever done.
