Henry Smith Charity Announces New Five-Year Strategic Plan (UK)

The Henry Smith Charity, now known as the Henry Smith Foundation, has announced its new five-year strategy which offers flexible, long-term funding to support not-for-profit organisations dedicated to making social change across the UK.

‘Elevate Your Impact (2025-2030)’ will focus on three core priority areas:

  • Getting started - supporting families to give their young children a strong start
  • Building independence - helping young people move into adulthood with confidence, skills and hope
  • Safer futures - supporting people to rebuild their lives after abuse, displacement or prison.

In addition, there is also the new Opportunity Fund to support early-stage ideas, test bold approaches, strengthen leadership and boost inclusion across the voluntary and community sector.

The Foundation also continues to run several long-standing programmes, including Kindred, Holiday grants and support for Anglican clergy.

 

Webinars will be held in July and August to provide additional information for applicants. Details can be found on the Foundation’s website.
