Welcome to Guy Fox History Project

Staff and volunteers are celebrating the tenth anniversary of Guy Fox History Project. On 23rd March 2000, Kourtney Harper received a £2,000 grant from the Millennium Commission and the Guy Fox brand was born.

"As a small organisation, we are always focusing on 'What's Next'; this birthday is a nice opportunity to pause and remember all the people who have helped us in our work," says Scott Unwin, Development Officer. "During the past ten years, Guy Fox History Project has worked with over one thousand children in London, creating over 100,000 educational publications for children around the world. And we're still having just as much fun as we did when we started."

Plans are under way for an 'official' celebration on 5th November 2010.

Following an overwhelming response to our Investment Banking book, Guy Fox is negotiating partnerships with leaders in other professions.

"When members of the business community read our new Investment Banking book, they understand how this project can achieve their community affairs objectives. This project engages businesses in the community, while educating children about work and raising their aspirations," says Kourtney Harper, Creative Director. "We've been pleased to receive queries from potential partners in lots of different sectors."

Although we have not yet confirmed a partner for the next book, our 'Wish List' includes law, management consulting, telecommunications, retail, media, engineering, architecture, and retail banking. If your company would like to learn more about the 'How the World REALLY Works' project, please contact us.

After six revisions and countless proofs, Guy Fox releases the first book in our new series exploring the world of work. 'How the World REALLY Works: Investment Banking' details the origins, role and functions of investment banking. Created in a collaboration among UBS staff, primary school children and the Guy Fox team, the book is a 68-page illustrated guide which will give children (and adults too!) a clear understanding of investment banking activities and terminology.

Guy Fox is pleased to confirm a partnership with Lloyd's of London for the second phase of our 'How the World REALLY Works' project. We will be collaborating with staff of the insurance companies at Lloyd's and a local primary school to create a children's guide about the world famous insurance market.

"We're thrilled to be working with such an innovative organisation," says Clare Plaisted, Chairman of Guy Fox History Project . "Lloyd's has such a rich history and unique business model, which will be fascinating to explore and explain."

The workshops will take place over the winter, with publication of 'How the World REALLY Works: Lloyd's of London' anticipated in late Spring 2010.
