Four simple aims will take us and our associated charities to a better place, and make our Company stronger. The Court has agreed a new vision and strategy for the Company: the Cordwainers’ 2020 Vision. This sets out what the Company will focus on, so that it is well positioned for its 750th Anniversary in 2022, and can move on strongly beyond that.

Participation Increase further the participation and involvement of all Liverymen and Freemen in the Company’s social, charitable and governance activities.
Charity Double the amount given by Cordwainers’ charities to targeted external charity beneficiaries from 2012 levels.
Profile Increase the profile of the Company both internally amongst members, and externally in the footwear trade, in the City, and amongst our charitable and business partners.
Growth Progressively increase the financial strength of the Company so that we are able to consider acquiring our own home (not hall).
