Charitable Donation

20% of all our sales go to the local branch of the homelessness charity Emmaus who offer shelter, work, friendship and advice to homeless in London, building self-esteem and the means of self-support.

From the outset, we have supported the Lloyd’s-recognised charity, the Coombe Trust, founded by Lloyd’s broker Don Coombe MBE and latterly run by his son, David. In 2019 David Coombe led the trust’s merger with another local homelessness charity, Emmaus (Charity No.1064472), a merger which enables the pooling of resources, better achieving their shared aims and objectives. We have enjoyed supporting David in this move and are extremely proud to have been associated with the Coombes since the foundation of the Lloyd’s Art Group in 1963. Read more about Emmaus.
