Organisation
The Henry Smith Charity (Registered Charity No. 230102) has 18 Trustees, 32 volunteer Visitors and 18 staff (who also administer two smaller trusts).
The Charity is chaired by Mr Jamie Hambro. Trustees are nominated by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Board of Trustees meets quarterly, as do the two Distribution Committees which take decisions on applications to the Main Grants Programme and other funds.
The network of 32 Volunteer Visitors covers the whole of the UK and, together with the staff in the Grants Team, visit all charities where a grant of £10,000 or more is under consideration. This enables the Trustees to back good people as well as good causes.
The Director is Richard Hopgood.
Details of the Trustees and Staff can be found in the Annual Report.
