Equipping people to be self-reliant and achieve their personal best.
our history
The Licensed Trade Charity was established by philanthropic publicans in 1794, to look after the families of those working in the licensed drinks trade. For over two centuries, we have worked hard to improve people’s lives, by providing a range of support: from running orphanages in our early days and providing housing for the elderly, right up to awarding financial grants for people in need, and running independent schools today.
Royal Charter
Receiving Royal Charter in 1836, we have both HM The Queen as patron of our schools and H.R.H. The Prince Philip as patron of our charitable work and Support and Care for those in the trade.
