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.

But 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.
