The Society’s central aim is to ensure that incoming Consorts feel fully prepared and confident as they embark on their year. The insight and experience offered by past Consorts is invaluable: they provide guidance, reassurance and practical advice to those currently serving or approaching their term.
A key part of the Society’s work is its programme of social events, held in relaxed and informal settings to make it easy for members to mix, mingle and form connections. These gatherings offer enjoyable opportunities to:
- make new friends
- exchange information and personal experience
- build networks
- learn more about the City, the Livery movement and the Consort’s role
- practise social engagement in a warm and supportive environment
Knowledge‑sharing is at the heart of confidence‑building, and the Society’s website has been developed with this in mind. Designed specifically around the needs and concerns of Consorts, it provides practical information, guidance and resources. The content—written by members—complements the experience gained from attending events and reflects feedback from across the membership.
For further information, including a membership application form and brochure, please visit the City Consorts website under the ‘Membership’ section.
