National Numeracy is a charity dedicated to helping people build the numeracy skills and confidence they need to thrive at work, manage money and make informed decisions in everyday life.

This support is made possible through the generosity of Liverymen and Freemen, whose contributions enable charities like National Numeracy to make a real difference to individuals, families and communities across the UK.

It was an honour to attend the City Food and Drink Lecture this week – the event is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. We are one of eight livery companies who support the lecture, bringing together thought leaders across the food and drinks industry from within the City of London and beyond.

Professor Susan Jebb, the keynote speaker, gave a thought-provoking talk about the issues of and potential solutions to the obesity epidemic in the UK, with a focus on what food and drink companies can do to help. With a wide-ranging panel discussion and final thoughts by the Princess Royal, the 25th instalment of the lecture continued its reputation as an important part of the City’s year.

In pictures: The Guildhall; the Princess Royal wrapping up the lecture; the Master ( ) being asked for his thoughts on the evening; and liverymen Michael Vachon ( ), Annabel Meikle ( ) and Billy Abbott ( ), who attended the lecture.
