Supporting architectural education and nurturing careers.
Our charitable trust is committed towards architecture, education and the City of London.
In line with the overall ethos of the livery, philanthropy is also central to the Architects’ Company. The Company’s two charities are the WCCA Charitable Trust and the Temple Bar Trust.
The WCCA Charitable Trust supports various educational institutions and events in the City, as well as providing bursaries and subsidies to students of the Company. In addition, the Trust aims to support the City’s charitable endeavours throughout the year.
The current Temple Bar Trust was formed by a group of Architects’ Company Liverymen, with the support of the Company’s Court, to realise a long-term ambition to make the Temple Bar, home to the Company.
Temple Bar works with educational organisations, schools and colleges to encourage interest in the built environment, creating greater diversity in the industry through mentoring.
Temple Bar is a historic building designed by Sir Christopher Wren, located in the shadow of St Paul’s Cathedral in the City of London. The Wren Room and Temple Bar Chamber offer two elegant spaces to hire for private dining/receptions, meetings or talks.
An engaging and stimulating programme of talks about diverse subjects concerning the built environment covering architecture, planning, transport, history, art and economics in the City of London aimed at visitors, the City community, young people and built environment professionals.
