The Charity

An enterprise with a charitable purpose

The Goldsmiths' Company has established a new charitable body to manage and administer the Goldsmiths' Centre. 

It has a single primary aim: to advance and develop art, craft, design and artisan skills in particular, but not exclusively, for goldsmiths.

The new Centre provides more than just a new home for goldsmiths. It establishes a professional environment in which members of the trade can acquire new skills or improve existing ones through the newly established Goldsmiths' Institute, the educational element of the Charity. The Centre offers the public an insight into the work of a goldsmith or jeweller and fosters greater interest in the industry as a whole.

How we do this

  • Provide managed workspace, education and training for public benefit
  • Foster, promote and extend public interest in art, craft, design and artisan skills
  • Provide a hub for those engaged or interested in these skills

The Charity assists young people into skilled employment through vocational training. The Charity creates a sustainable future for the industry by bringing together education and commerce through a community of like-minded individuals and businesses, both from within the industry as well as from the allied trades and associated crafts. This enhances the potential of the Centre by reaching out to a wider and more diverse audience, encouraging them to visit, work and learn here.

We also help to create a sustainable future for the industry by bringing together education and commerce. We acheive this by building an enduring community of like-minded individuals and businesses from the industry and the associated trades.
