One of the original purposes of the mediæval guilds, the precursors of livery Companies, was for charity, funded by members giving what they could. This ancient tradition continues today in all the 113 Companies of the City of London. Together they donate over £70 million to charities each year.

The Worshipful Company of Educators is no exception. Charitable activity is at the heart of our values. We are dedicated to support the profession of educator that is all those professionals who contribute to creating a stimulating, diverse and supportive environment in which people learn and enrich their lives.

We celebrate outstanding innovation and excellence in educational practice primarily through awards and bursaries to individual educators.

The Company set up The Educators’ Trust to fund an awards programme and a Board of Trustees to manage its charitable funds and develop its charitable activities. The Trust receives no grants from government and is funded by the generous donations and legacies of Freemen and Liverymen of the Company and from other individuals and organisations sharing its belief in the transformative power of education.
