The Worshipful Company of Glovers of London is one of the ancient Livery Companies of the City of London Corporation bringing together centuries of glove craft, active charitable giving and committed service to the City. Today, ranked 62nd in the City’s order of precedence, we remain proudly independent, guided by our enduring motto: “True Hearts and Warm Hands.”
While rooted in history, the Company is firmly forward-looking. We maintain strong links with the modern glove trade, promote excellence through our Student Glove Design Competition, Golden Glove Award & sponsored courses; and through an independent Trust, we oversee one of the world’s finest historic glove collections, now on loan to the Fashion Museum, Bath.
Like all Livery Companies, we are deeply committed to charitable giving - supporting education, assisting those in need, working closely with HM Armed Forces and youth organisations, and delivering our distinctive programme of “Charity through Gloves,” including in recent years the provision of advanced prosthetic arms to children.
Above all, we are a friendly, inclusive and purposeful Company: honouring our gloving heritage, serving the City, and building confidently for the future.
