Fraternal assistance within the CIGLIR is coordinated by the Grand Almoners of the member Grand Lodges, all of whom have undertaken to abide by a Code of Good Conduct. In cooperation with the CIGLIR Grand Almoner and in a spirit of universal solidarity, they ensure assistance and support for Brethren in need, wherever they may be in the world. This chain of fraternity gives practical expression to the values of sharing, benevolence and mutual assistance that unite our Grand Lodges.
