The Livery Committee is delighted to present this Livery Impact Report 2025. 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.

Thank you. We hope you enjoy the reading.

What people say

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

I would, however, like to express my own particular thanks for City traditions which have been maintained across the ages; notably, as you mentioned, Lord Mayor, the City Livery’s production of special and precious items in support of Coronations.

His Majesty The King, Mansion House Speech

When people speak about the Livery, they speak about Tradition and ask whether it is really modern? Well, I think the old and the new are something the Livery does really well.

Alderwoman Dame Susan Langley, DBE, The Rt Hon the Lady Mayor 2025 – 26

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.

Keith Bottomley, Sheriff and Deputy 2025 – 26
