About The Distillers’ Charity (no. 1193683)
Charitable giving is at the heart of life in the Distillers’ Company. The Distillers’ Charity was established in 1955 to carry forward the Livery’s philanthropic work.
Our Vision
To make a difference to young people, including those within the distilled spirits trade, helping them to reach their full potential, improve their life chances, and make a positive contribution to their communities.
Our Mission
As a Livery charity, sitting at the hub of the distilling industry, to achieve our vision we support charitable organisations working across three distinctive but interrelated grant-making areas:
- Vocational Training & Education – to provide support and education to assist promising, young entrants to the UK spirits trade to develop their knowledge and skills.
- Youth Action Fund – to transform the life chances of 16 to 25-year-old people in Scotland, by empowering them to create positive and lasting change in their lives.
- Livery & City Giving – to support young people, particularly from disadvantaged backgrounds, including those in our industry suffering from hardship.
