We provide support and grants to a number of City-based institutions including:

  • The Lord Mayor's Appeal
  • The Sheriffs' and Recorder’s Fund, which was founded in 1808 to support ex-prisoners and their families to help them start a new life
  • The Royal British Legion (City Branch Poppy Appeal)
  • The United Guilds Service, the origin of which (in 1943) was part of a "coordinated response to the challenges faced by the City of London following the Blitz of 1940-41"
  • The Livery Food Initiative. In addition, in 2020-21 we provided one-off grants to the Borough Food Cooperative and the Walworth Community Food Hub

Our company is a long-term supporter of the Sheriffs' and Recorder's Fund. With roots at the Old Bailey, the Fund supplies small grants to prepare prisoners for entering the labour market and aims to prevent re-offending.

Master Nick Macrae was pleased to attend a concert in aid of the Fund at the Old Bailey to celebrate London in music and words. A particular highlight was joining in a medley of London Songs led by the Pearly Kings and Queens.
