Initiatives

The City & Its Livery

Inevitably being born in Islington led to a homely fascination with the history of London and its people – who knew for example that Banks in the City of London Used to Have to Be Located within a 10 Minute Walk of the Bank of England?

Lord Mayor's Briefing Group

The Lord Mayor of the City of London leads a delegation on overseas visits about 12 times each year, often visiting several countries on the same trip. He or she meets senior politicians, central bankers, officials and representatives of the local business community.

Social Concerns & Practical Charity

Across London 10.2 million meals are needed each month to sustain people who are experiencing food poverty. At the same time around 13 million meals are wasted each month. Food wastage is one of the leading contributors to climate change.

The Annual Taxi Ride to Disney Land, Paris

100 children, suffering from a range of chronic illnesses and life-limiting conditions are taken each year to Disneyland Resort Paris® for the weekend. The three day trip sees a convoy of black taxis, supported by the necessary medics and ambulances, drive to the French capital and is sponsored by London Businesses and organisations.

Property Development

The nose of many people wrinkles at the very mention of property development with the imagination wandering to England’s green fields covered in drab housing estates but the reality can be much more uplifting. Humans need places to work and places to live and these can be created with beauty, reduced environmental impact and an eye to community engagement.

Environment

With an ever expanding world population increasing the amount of environmentally damaging pollutants, be that greenhouse gases or other chemical products of civilisation in the wrong place it is essential that we all take practical steps, often individually small, to limit and hopefully reduce our negative environmental impact.
