Background
The role of Livery Schools Link is that of broker; we seek to marry supply and demand by:
(1) seeking Livery Company help in responding to requests from schools, education authorities and our partners in the brokering business and
(2) helping turn general intentions, intimations and specific offers by Livery Companies and their members into effective action at school level

The ways in which we operate in Livery Schools Link are six-fold:
(1) To advise and assist Livery Companies over the forms that help to schools might take, how links might be formed and on ways in which support might be delivered
(2) To provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and best practice between Livery Companies in their support of schools
(3) To communicate widely the overall scale and success of links established between Livery Companies and schools and to promote the enterprise
(4) To provide a focal point through which the educational community in London can make contact with Livery Companies
(5) To maintain a Database of Livery Company links with schools
(6) To work with Partners in achieving a common Mission and acting as the brokers' broker.
 
Our geographical coverage is London-wide, that is the area under the jurisdiction of the Greater London Authority and all the London Boroughs. Our support is to meet the needs of children of school age (4-19) in full-time education.

Our emphasis is on helping the least advantaged and, given that, and their close proximity to the City of London, schools in the Boroughs of Hackney, Islington, Southwark and Tower Hamlets figure largely in current Livery support, and are likely to continue to do so. However, schools from other adjacent Boroughs, e.g. Camden and Lambeth, also figure and increasingly offers of help, notably by members of Livery Companies, are being made to schools identified as particularly needy in Boroughs right across London
