The Branch Trust is a charity established in 2020, growing out of the outreach work of St Mary’s Church, Chipping Norton.

ABOUT THE GOLDSMITHS’ FOUNDATION

The Goldsmiths’ Foundation is the charitable foundation of the Goldsmiths’ Company. The Foundation’s mission is to transform life-chances by supporting technical and vocational education through grant-making. With a focus on goldsmithing, silversmithing, jewellery and allied trades, it also supports skills and training in the creative industries and other fields, as well as general charitable endeavours.

A contemporary company with deep roots in the past, the Goldsmiths’ Company is one of the Great Twelve City of London Livery Companies. Founded in 1327 and now with a 1600-strong membership, the Company has contributed to national life for seven centuries. It advances the trade and craft of silversmithing and jewellery through training, exhibitions and public engagement. It also operates the London Assay Office, which protects trade and consumers by testing and hallmarking precious metals.
This is an exciting moment to join the Goldsmiths’ Foundation. Philanthropy has been at the heart of the Company’s work since 1327; the current Goldsmiths’ Company Charity was founded in the 19th century. Today, supported by its endowment, it makes grants of c. £3.5 million each year.

The Goldsmiths’ Company (the sole member of the Foundation) is now reinvigorating its philanthropic mission with refreshed charitable objects, a renewed focus on craft and skills, and a new Board of Trustees drawn from across the Company’s membership and chaired by Dame Lynne Brindley.
