The company opened the first livery hall for 50 years last September, the building purchased through the generosity of their second master, Dame Stephanie Shirley, and refurbished and equipped by its members.
Whilst livery companies are based in the City their membership is widely drawn and in many cases their charitable support flows out far further than the City and Greater London.

 CHAPTER 2 - Fraternalism before 1717: Or When is Freemasonry NOT Speculative? By Dr Bob James
It was not surprising that when machinery, cross-border trade and entrepreneurial negotiations began to appear that workmen and many employers fought their own trade's Company to have 'the old ways' upheld and sought assistance from municipal authorities, in the first instance, then the law courts.
He appears to be arguing that the lack of known records of a hatters' combination alongside instances of their court appearances, indicating such an organisation operating, supports his assertion that the operatives had suddenly decided to go underground.
The most important tradition enabling the Companies to live long after they had lost their monopoly of supervision over their trades and crafts was that of fraternal charity.
