The Clothiers Company of Worcester Charitable Foundation
Over the centuries, the members of the Clothiers Company have been supporters, founders and Trustees of numerous charities in Worcester and the surrounding county. That tradition continues today, with the large proportion of the current membership being actively involved in a very wide range of charitable bodies.
However, the Company did not previously have its own Charitable Foundation and so Ian Smith, during his year in office as High Master, led the project to set up a Foundation in 2014.
The Foundation has been set up by the members of the Clothiers Company with the following charitable objectives:
Foundation
To preserve, restore and display to the public for historic reference and education, the historic documents and artefacts of the Clothiers Company of Worcester
To promote and support trade and entrepreneurial endeavour within Worcester and Worcestershire for the benefit of the local community
To support the education of young people in Worcester and Worcestershire through the granting of bursaries, awards and prizes.
To support the charitable aims of other livery companies and trade guilds
