Our hosts sit down with  Ged Dempsey , the Freemason who launched the Three Pillars, to uncover how a grassroots idea grew into a powerful community lifeline.  From providing meals and clothing to essential support for vulnerable people across the region, the Three Pillars Charity demonstrates Freemasonry's ongoing commitment to compassion, action, and service. The episode concludes at a real support event, where volunteers gather in a local car park to distribute food, and you can experience first-hand what goes into these vital operations and the impact they have on those who rely on them.","meta_description":"For the first time ever, Craftcast: The Freemasons Podcast goes on the road!
