The Company Objectives
Objective 1: TO ENSURE LONG-TERM STEWARDSHIP OF OUR FINANCIAL, HISTORIC AND RELATIONAL ASSETS
Objective Narrative
The long-term stewardship of our assets (in the widest sense) is the most important driver behind the longevity and financial health of the Leathersellers. The more opportunities we have to develop financial value and capitalise on the skills and involvement of our members and partners, the more we can drive our charitable ambition.
Outcomes
• Manage risk effectively and exercise financial control, to steward and maintain the longevity of assets • Foster strong governance, by embedding strong policies and procedures that are actively promoted and pursued • Identify and realise opportunity to create financial value • Develop an engaged and diverse membership and staff with the skills, commitment and assets to underpin the Company and Foundation’s strength, balance and focus over the long-term
St Helen’s estate has been the home of the Leathersellers since 1543, when the Company acquired the former site of the Priory of St Helen. Today, we act as curators of St Helen’s Place and as guardians of its historic significance within the City of London.
