Welcoming William Sieghart, our new Chair of Trustees

‘I’m very excited to be joining The Henry Smith Charity. It’s a perfect time to join an organisation like this one when there’s such a convincing remit for change.’

In terms of William’s broader, longer-term vision for the organisation, he will focus on building The Charity’s profile within the sector and developing a common sense of organisational purpose and pride.

‘In my role as Chair, I’d like to help us become better known, to know better our beneficiaries and to become an expert in giving and engaging with the communities that we choose to support. Most of all, I’d like us to be responsible for helping change the world for good. I would like to see everyone at The Henry Smith Charity being proud of both our contribution to the world, and of the organisation.

Since joining the board in the summer of 2023, I have loved having the chance to get to know the trustees and staff team. It’s inspiring to be part of a charitable foundation that is making the world a better place, and I am looking forward to working with Anand and the team in this vital work.’
