Distillers’ Charity
Securing our long-term ability to contribute to making a difference to the lives of young people
Distillers’ Charity’s mission is to make a difference to young people with a focus on working in three key areas. In alcohol-related education our charitable funding supports the drink’s industry charity, The Benevolent providing alcohol awareness programmes for the trade. The Charity has a long-term partnership with Alcohol Education Trust, helping to deliver alcohol education in schools to enable young people to understand alcohol. In 2017 a new relationship began with Action on Addiction supporting the Hope House bursary programme for women. Distillers’ Charity continues to support the education and training of people in the trade. This includes funding scholarships at the Heriot-Watt International Centre for Brewing & Distilling, the Institute of Brewing and Distilling and the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET). The Master’s charity, The Lord Mayor’s Appeal and other City-related charities represent another important area in the Livery’s charitable giving.
The majority of the funds raised in the auction will benefit the Distiller’s Charity endowment, which will help to sustain the Livery’s philanthropic giving over the long-term.
