The City cannot thrive in isolation. The City Corporation works with public, private and voluntary sectors to improve long-term economic, social and environmental well-being across London. This is largely focused on education, employability, skills and job brokerage, in particular for young people. We also support entrepreneurships, small and medium sized enterprises and social enterprises as well as fostering corporate responsibility in firms and encouraging volunteering and related activity. A major part of our work in this area is achieved through our charity, the City Bridge Trust which donates around £15m annually to good causes across London.

WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES
Both the City and City Corporation are about more than just business. We play a major role in London’s culture and arts provision. We support this through our world renowned Barbican Centre, prestigious Guildhall School of Music & Drama, our funding of the London Symphony Orchestra and part-funding of the Museum of London. The City has become a visitor destination in its own right with major attractions such as Tower Bridge and Monument which we own and maintain. across London, including Hampstead Heath, Epping Forest and Burnham Beeches, alongside more than 150 gardens, churchyards, parks and plazas in the Square Mile alone. We also own and look after 11,000 acres of open space
