Surgical research saves and improves the lives of patients in need

The Freemasons’ Fund for Surgical Research (FFSR) is a charitable organisation that provides grants to Research Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS England) to pursue groundbreaking research projects.

With over 50 years of history, the FFSR has played a vital role in supporting innovative research that might not have received funding otherwise.

The FFSR, funded entirely by Freemasons, has donated over £5.9 million to the RCS England since 1967, with the current value of the fund being approximately £7 million. The fund’s mission is to support the RCS England’s clinical research and contribute to the advancement of surgical knowledge and patient care.
