The Worshipful Company of Pattenmakers is one of the City of London Livery Companies which was originally founded in the 17th century as a trade association for the makers of pattens. The principal charitable activities of the fund take the form of; Orthopaedic footwear, Education & Young Managers. The Livery has been making grants towards the purchase of bespoke footwear for people with severe walking difficulties for more than 30 years.
