In one of a long line of fundraisers for good causes, Company members recently went to the historic ceremony of Swan Upping on the River Thames near Henley, where specially-trained boatmen from two other Liveries and from the Palace, temporarily catch and check the health of the swans on the river, as well as ringing the younger ones.

The Company has four “pillars”, or principal aims:-
- Business and professional: To promote the values and objectives of the profession, to nurture leadership and to influence the broader business debate;
- Charitable: To give something back to society, to direct our efforts and funds to relevant sustainable causes and communities and to leverage the skills and experience of our Members;
- City Civic: To contribute to the governance of the City of London Corporation, and to participate actively in the life of the City; and
- Fellowship: To engage effectively with our Members, with the broader Livery movement and with our profession, whilst enjoying ourselves.
Within these we further prize, endorse and promote seven key values: integrity, friendship, leadership, giving back, trust, citizenship, and linking the past, present and future.
350
Our Royal Charter allows us to have 350 Liverymen and an unlimited number of Freemen. A Freeman may enjoy many of the privileges of membership, but may not vote at Guildhall or wear the Livery Uniform, until he or she becomes a Liveryman.
ICAEW Members are always welcome to contact the Clerk and discuss the possibility of joining us, initially as a Freeman.
Personal merit, a willingness to contribute in a collegiate environment and to donate to a range of good causes, and a pleasant personality are all we ask of applicants.
