LIVERY CHARITY LUNCH Skinners’ Hall Thursday 26th January 2017
Please join us for a very special occasion….
At Skinners’ Hall on 26th January we shall welcome a very special guest, who will join our Company as an Honorary Liveryman. Further details will follow early in the New Year.
The Skinners’ Company is one of the Great Twelve, having been granted its first Charter by King Edward III in 1327, nearly forty years before our first grant of Ordinances. Traditionally engaged in the fur trade, today the Company is very active in the fields of education and social housing, amongst many other charitable works. Famously “at sixes and sevens” with the Merchant Taylors’ Company in the order of precedence, the Skinners have been based in Dowgate Hill, close to the historic site of the Plumbers’ Hall, for over seven centuries. Skinners’ Hall is Grade 1 listed and dates from shortly after the Great Fire. It is said to have been saved from destruction in 1944 thanks to a quick-thinking Butler on fire watch attracting the attention of firemen with the aid of the Company’s spirits store.
This special occasion will have a strong charitable theme. Thanks to very generous sponsorship, we are inviting Liverymen and guests attending to make a £95 donation that will directly benefit the deserving causes supported by our Charitable and Educational Trust. Your attendance will help us to support young people in education, relieve the suffering caused by homelessness and save children’s lives in Ghana by providing fresh water and sanitation. You will learn about Medical Detection Dogs - an extraordinary charity which we shall also be supporting. We hope you will remember this special day for years to come.
Numbers are limited and applications will be dealt with in order of receipt. Be sure to respond as soon as possible in order to be part of this very important event. Please note: payment is to be made directly to our Charity, as indicated on the booking form, and not to the Company.
