CHARITY

Lock & Co. is a small family business that strongly believes in social responsibility. That’s why each year we donate to charities close to our hearts. The charities we have chosen are ones where we know our support can make a real difference. Please follow the links to hear their stories.

THE KING'S FOUNDATION

The King’s Foundation, first formed in 1990, is a charity founded by King charles III as Prince of Wales – inspired by His Majesty’s philosophy of Harmony.

The King’s Foundation is responsible for opening Highgrove Gardens to the public, generating an annual income for the charity. In May 2023, Lock & Co. were honoured to launch a special edition Highgrove Panama Hat to mark the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. This launch was followed by the addition of the Highgrove Bakerboy Cap, the Highgrove Estate Check Grosvenor Cap, and most recently the Snowdon Muirfield Bakerboy Cap.

Profits from sales of the hats will support The King's Foundation for its charitable delivery of education and training initiatives, some of which take place at Highgrove. The King’s Foundation’s base at Highgrove accommodates education and training opportunities in furniture-making, fashion, and textiles, and building craft skills.

The Highgrove Collection of hats is available to purchase at Lock & Co. and from the Highgrove Shop's website.
