LionHeart governance
LionHeart is an Independent Charity (No 261245) and a Company Limited by Guarantee (No 980025).
We are governed by a passionate and committed board of trustees made up mainly of RICS members. Trustees meet quarterly to ensure that the charity is making a difference to the people we support and spending its funds appropriately.
Our trustees are unpaid, and play a vital role in helping LionHeart shape its services.
The board of trustees is chaired by Philippa Sampson-Bancroft.

After serving as trustee and then vice chair on the LionHeart board, she took on the role of chair in summer 2024.
She said: "I'm honoured to chair the LionHeart board; we have a great team of trustees who are committed to stewarding the charity and ensuring that we continue to support surveyors and their families in times of need.
"I was particularly pleased to be taking the helm in our 125th anniversary year, with all eyes on both the charity's long history and the development of our strategy to shape the future of the support we offer to the surveying profession. It is a great time to be part of LionHeart's story."
