The Master Cutler has had an exceptionally busy start to 2026!

In the first two weeks of the year, activities included a visit to the Sheffield Assay Office, supporting the Archer Project Breakfast Service for people experiencing homelessness in Sheffield, attending the BLBW Ambassador presentations at the Sheffield Hallam University AWRC, and the High Sheriff Awards at Rotherham Town Hall.

🎙️Week one concluded with the exciting launch of our brand-new podcast, Cutlers - Sharpening South Yorkshire

Week two started with the Master and Mistress visiting Freeman Company, Footprint Tools, attending the installation of the new Chancellor of the University of Sheffield, and hosting the Past Masters’ Dinner. The week also included attending two Livery dinners at the Worshipful Company of Plaisterers and the Armourers & Brasiers, before witnessing the addition of our Immediate Past Master, Philip Rodrigo, to the Master Cutler Board.

A remarkable start to the year - and there’s much more to come ✨

This December, we proudly donated £19,500 to 16 local charities supporting vital work across South Yorkshire.

The Master Cutler hosted the CCCT awards, where each charity received their donation, shared inspiring stories about the work the charity did, and how the contributions make a real difference.

The Company of Cutlers has a long-standing tradition with donating to a wide range of local charities and organisations committed to making a positive impact.

Sheffield Bach Choir - Handel's Messiah

A suitably splendid setting for the performance of Messiah this year - Cutlers' Hall, Sheffield, just across the road from the cathedral.
It will be on a Monday 1st December at 7pm and we will be performing all the movements (albeit with the odd da capo omitted here and there). It would be amazing to see you there.

Last week, the Master & Mistress Cutler, Professor Keith Jackson & Gina Jackson, had the privilege of joining cadets from the HSY Army Cadet Force on the Eyes On, Hands On project, led by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). They joined the Deputy Lieutenant, Christopher Jewitt, the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, and senior representatives from the Army Cadet Force.

This inspiring initiative marks a historical milestone as these cadets are the first under-18 volunteers formally accepted by CWGC. And HSY Army Cadet Force is the first youth organisation to be formally recognised for this important work.

The Master & Mistress Cutler met with the instructors and cadets who play a vital role in helping to maintain UK war graves. Through the CWGC's volunteer programme, these young people, along with other volunteers across the country, inspect and help maintain local war graves, ensuring they remain clean, cared for, and respectfully remembered.

It was a fantastic opportunity to witness the cadets commitment and the impact of their efforts. A huge well done to everyone involved in this meaningful project.
