It was a real pleasure to be asked to contribute to the Review by the Livery Committee (the body that links the Livery Companies with the City of London Corporation). In fact the LCAG visit to the retrofitting of 41 Lothbury made it to the front page showing a group of members in our hard hats.
The text on pages 12 and 13 gives more details but it is all worth a read as it sets out much more about the many Livery Company initiatives. The Shared Philanthropic Endeavour of the Liveries reveals that the aggregate giving by the Livery Companies is now £81million and the amount actually given by individuals has gone up 73%. General and professional volunteering with pro bono work has increased as well. LCAG seeks to ensure that the operations, investments and activities of all the Livery Companies are carried out sustainably and working towards net zero and mitigating the impact of climate change.
