The Goldsmiths’ Foundation is pleased to welcome Joseph Hallgarten as its inaugural director. With more than 20 years of leadership experience in the non-profit sector, Joseph is a respected educator and specialist in education policy and practice, with a particular expertise in creative learning, and a track record of achieving impact for young people.

This week we brought together our initial cohort of Landmark partners (St Giles, St Paul's Cathedral, National Literacy Trust, Aston University Engineering Academy) to share their collective knowledge, experience, and insights at the first annual Learning and Evaluation Day for the Goldsmiths’ Foundation Landmark Programme.

For International Women's Day 2025 we spoke with Wubedel Asfaw, a recipient of the Mansion House Scholarship Scheme (MHSS) - which supports the education of the next generation of finance and professional leaders from around the world - about her career in Ethiopia’s financial sector, what she learned from the MHSS, her drive to increase opportunities for women in professional services, and to create a more equitable financial ecosystem.

The Goldsmiths’ Foundation has proudly supported the Mansion House Scholarship Scheme for more than two decades.

The Goldsmiths' Company Foundation is delighted to announce the first four recipients of its new £10m Landmark Grants Programme – designed to accelerate skills development in the UK – Aston University Engineering Academy, National Literacy Trust, St Giles, and St. Paul’s Cathedral, who will each receive grants of £500,000 towards their projects.
