Raising funds - for charity, research and innovation
The Company's Fund Raising Panel organises events, develops ideas and seeks sponsors to support the Company's endeavours and its charitable funds.
Events include a charity ball from time to time. These have raised between £7,500 and £46,000.
Ideas range from a 49 Club to an annual draw; new concepts for Company merchandise and special events.
Every year, sponsors support the Company’s media flagship, the Cart Marking souvenir programme, published each year at Guildhall Yard.
Through such fund raising, the Company has been able to mount its lectures, run the debate and publish a bi-annual illustrated newsletter and, most important, steadily increase its Benevolent Fund's resources and build the funding for other worthwhile initiatives.
