Richard Gillham, Philanthropy Services
Following a career in investment management with Merrill Lynch and Legg Mason, I moved into wealth management five years ago as a financial planner for Progeny Wealth. I now work for Stewardship, the Christian donor advised fund, as a relationship manager in philanthropy services. As an IFA, I recognised the opportunity to have more purposeful giving conversations with clients, hence my decision to move to Stewardship where I now work closely with other Christian advisors.
I’m a trustee for the Launchpad Collective, an employment skills charity for refugees and I also support the Global Returns Project, an environmental charity that is growing high-impact climate philanthropy.
I have two sons and a daughter on an internship in France. I am a regular park runner and worship at Christ Church in Woking.
