About us
As stewards of an enduring legacy, we are driven by charitable ambition and our responsibility to future generations
Charity
We provide unrestricted multi-year grants to prevent and tackle the consequences of adverse childhood experience, and support small charities to meet local need. Learn More
Education
We have a long history of supporting opportunity through education, having awarded our first student grant in 1602. Today this is primarily delivered through partnerships in South East London through our support of the Leathersellers’ Federation of Schools and Colfe’s Scholarship programme, as well as our flagship Undergraduate Scholarships (Student Grants) programme.
