How To Donate

The Heritage of London Trust is always seeking out new sponsorship opportunities. We can only continue to expand our grants programme if we find new sources of funding. We are also keen to develop our educational events so that we can highlight the many important historic buildings and monuments all over London that are in need of restoration.

These magnificent roundels were commissioned by Cardinal Wolsey and Henry VIII and executed by Florentine Sculptor Giovanni da Maiano. The Trust recently paid out a grant of £2,000 towards a monitoring programme that will assess the best way to preserve and restore these priceless artistic treasures. Mr Fishburn is Chairman of Henderson Smaller Companies Investment Trust, one of a number of London-based firms who support our work by making a regular donation to the Trust.Trustee Dudley Fishburn and Director Diana Beattie with conservators inspecting a terracotta roundel of a Roman Emperor at Hampton Court Palace.

If your company has offices in London, and you’d like to give something back to the local community, we would be happy to help you find a local project that you could support. Most of our restoration projects offer vital facilities for local people- for example, breakfast clubs for children and services for the disabled and elderly. By helping to support our work, you will not only preserve a part of London’s heritage and history, but you will also be indirectly assisting local charities and community groups by ensuring they have a suitable building in which they can continue their work.

We can offer your company valuable publicity (through links on our website, building site boards while restoration is taking place), access to cultural events for your staff and visits to see buildings you have directly helped. There are also regular opportunities to sponsor a lecture or our annual cocktail reception for Friends and Sponsors, which is usually held in one of London’s historic buildings.

If you’d like to learn more, please contact us in the office to discuss how you could work with us to save and preserve London’s historic treasures.

If you are a private individual, you can make a donation directly to the Trust’s grants fund, join our Society of Friends, or leave us a legacy in your will.
