The Master can select donations to charities of their choice up to a total of £1,000, with the two 2020-22 Masters being able to allocate funds up to £1,500 each to cover the 3 years.
The current Master made a donation of £250 to St. Michael’s Cornhill, where the Upholders usually hold their annual church service. As the Company was unable to attend the church this year, the Upholders have also given £250 in support of the church and the choir. The Master has also made a further donation of £250 in memory of Terrie Tanner and others sadly lost due to the pandemic.
