As a livery company committed to being a philanthropic force for good, we encourage our partners and grant recipients to proudly share their association with us.
If you are working with, or have received funding from, the Mercers’ Company and our trustee charities, we invite you to help raise awareness of our shared impact.
On this page, you will find the necessary logos, branding guidelines and suggestions for effectively announcing your award or partnership.
Logos
Firstly, you need to determine whether you should use our Mercers’ Company logo (i.e. working in partnership with) or one of our charities logos (i.e. funded by). When referring to funding please check the charity that your organisation or project has been funded by and use this logo.
We are the corporate trustee of six registered charities:
- Mercers’ Charitable Foundation
- The Charity of Sir Richard Whittington
- St Paul’s Schools Foundation
- The Earl of Northampton’s Charity
- Mercers’ School Memorial Trust (The Merrett Bequest)
- Charter 600
- and sole member of Mercers' Company Housing Association.
If you are at all unsure, then please email comms@mercers.co.uk
