City of London Guilds and Livery Companies have a huge potential for assisting in the work of schools and, in particular, in raising aspirations in pupils from areas of deprivation across the UK. This potential propelled the Guild of Educators to take up the challenge of administering Livery Schools Link in its role of promoting the support of London schools by City Livery Companies and Guilds.

So far The City of London Corporation and some 44 Companies that are subscribing members.

Livery Schools Link has established close working relations with a wide range of organisations supporting/ delivering education at primary and secondary levels, for example the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust. It has done so with the education services of a number of Boroughs, with Education Business Partnerships and with other parties, notably in developing arrangements whereby individual Livery men and women, willing in principle to offer their services in support of schools, can be found to meet growing requests for volunteers for one-day courses and the like.
