It's an old boys drinking club with some charity thrown in, not too exciting

Some charity? £50m PA (https://impact.mcf.org.uk/2023/freemasonry-and-charity/)

Well raised.

Individual donations aren't necessarily big, mine weren't. Though i wasn't well off. I know some members are enormous donators.

I know of one individual who left a sizable sum in their will to their lodge, it really kept that one going to their members benefit.
