Our Supporters
The Drapers’ Company is one of the City of London’s ancient livery companies, with its roots firmly in the wool, cloth and textile trades. While our focus today is on philanthropy, education and supporting young people, we remain proud of our textile heritage and continue to champion the skills, craftsmanship and innovation that have shaped the industry for centuries.
Through our support of textile education, traditional craft skills, industry training and opportunities for emerging talent, we help ensure that the UK’s textile and fashion sectors continue to flourish. We work with a range of organisations, colleges and industry partners to inspire the next generation and preserve specialist skills for the future.
As part of this commitment, the Drapers’ Company is proud to support The Golden Shears, celebrating the creativity, technical excellence and dedication of emerging tailoring talent. By investing in young people and promoting high standards of craftsmanship, we honour our historic connection to the textile industry while helping to secure its future.
