Alongside the data obtained from the fourth Survey of Philanthropic Giving by Livery Companies undertaken in 2024, this report describes a number of the great Livery initiatives and stories, highlighting the depth, breadth and quality of these projects and the far reaching impact they are having for so many beneficiaries.

The report also highlights the power of collaboration and a number of examples where our 113 Livery Companies and their 45,000 members have worked together and pooled their resource, time, skill and experience for the benefit of shared philanthropic endeavour.

What people say

Read what people have to say about Livery Companies and Guilds.

Thank you so much for organising the Livery Weekend. I know from my much smaller efforts organising social events for the Company how much work goes into something on this scale. On a wider note, thank you for all you do generally to keep the Livery world connected. It is much appreciated.

Linda Palmer, Master Broderer 2024

As a long-term liveryman, former clerk and until this year part of the Livery Committee (LC), I am constantly reminded of the value of the LC website and its vital information linked to the wider livery. The user friendly nature of the website and the ease at which events and news items can be added continues to add to the success of the site. I will continue to enjoy using the site and hope you will.

David Barrett, Renter Warden 2023-24, Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers

I am passionate about our City and the Livery, about our traditions and institutions, and about the role we play in a modern society… through our philanthropy and commitment to apprenticeships, educations and skills.
