Merchant Taylors' Company was once the regulator and trade body of tailoring and its related industries within medieval London. As the world changed, so did Merchant Taylors'; over time it became a grant-making organisation whose members are driven to channel their collective good into volunteering, raising funds, or offering their time to support causes that can create transformative good to many lives.

Through their shared history, Merchant Taylors gain a fascinating insight into London's past and enjoy a unique connection to the City of London and the wider world.
