The public image of the City of London is as a place of finance. We think of high-powered traders and financiers all putting profits before people.

It might surprise you to learn that some very significant helping hands are being extended by the City to help a variety of people. And that some important charities and philanthropic ventures began in the City.

This tour celebrates those who have put – and continue to put – others first. Some ventures have involved channelling wealth in the reight direction. Others have been started by people with no more resources than the will to help.

B ut all are worth our time, and will inspire us to extend our own helping hands.

This is a virtual tour hosted live via Zoom video conferencing, where your guide will show slides and give a talk to accompany them. There will be the opportunity for questions both during and after the talk.
