HERITAGE OF LONDON
In February 2017, Delancey became a major donor of the Heritage of London Trust, supporting its programme of restoration projects across the city.
Jamie Ritblat, Delancey’s Founder & Chairman said:
"We are proud to support the Heritage of London Trust, which breathes life into historic buildings and monuments all across London. These heritage places give character and interest to London’s streets, and are important keystones for regeneration. HOLT also does brilliant work in getting young people involved in their projects, helping build resilient and tolerant communities. It’s very rewarding to see this kind of broad social impact."
Heritage of London Trust has rescued 700 landmark sites over the years, and Delancey is thrilled that our partnership is now in its 5thyear. As well as providing core funding for HOLT’s work, we have supported projects such as the historic clock tower of St Mary’s church, Bow, badly bombed in World War Two, and the spectacular eight-foot dragon weathervane on St James’ church, Bermondsey. We are currently involved in HOLT projects in Southwark and Earl’s Court.
Dr Nicola Stacey, Director of the Heritage of London Trust said:
“We are very grateful for Delancey’s continued support and it is fantastic that they are investing in the city in this way. Our work with local communities is exciting and Delancey’s support helps us deliver it. We have been able to work right through Covid, completing thirteen restoration projects and involving over 140 young people, and thanks to supporters such as Delancey, are in a good position to build on this as the city opens up this summer.”
