The Licensed Trade Charity has been supporting licensed trade people since it was established in 1793.
At the Licensed Trade Charity, we are here to support you with a whole host of services that can help you transform your life and get you back to your best. If you work or have ever worked in the licensed hospitality sector, we can provide you and your family.
Support is available for those operating within (or have retired from) businesses where the sale, consumption and supply of alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks under license is the predominant part of the on-trade sales mix.

Supporting mental wellbeing is a focus for us and we have been providing free mental health training for managers and counselling for licensed trade people for some time.
