Activity
The Wellcome Trust is a British registered charity established by the will of Sir Henry Wellcome. Upon his death in 1936 ownership of 100 per cent of the shares of the pharmaceutical company Wellcome Foundation passed to the newly formed Wellcome Trust. This income was to be used to advance medical research and support the understanding of its history.

The Trust's early years were spent winding up Sir Henry Wellcome's affairs, administering the bequests included in the will and re-structuring Wellcome Foundation which had previously been largely under Henry Wellcome's personal control. The Trustees were also responsible for paying the Estate Duty which absorbed most of the Trust's income during its first five years. Initial grant giving activities focused on Henry's main interests: pharmacy and pharmacology, veterinary and tropical medicine. The first tropical research unit to be funded was the Wellcome Research Laboratories at Thessaloniki (later Nairobi), which the Trust began funding in 1938. The Trust also endowed medical university chairs, such as in Clinical Tropical Medicine at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (1945) and Parmacology at the School of Pharmacy, University of London (1946). Also popular were the Wellcome Research Travel Grants, introduced in the 1950s, which provided expenses to UK scientists travelling abroad and to foreign scientists visiting the UK. In its first 20 years, the Wellcome Trust gave out £1.2 million in charitable funding though its activities were limited first by its obligations to pay the Estate Duty and then by the postwar financial problems of Wellcome Foundation, which came close to bankruptcy before recovering and steadily growing from the late 1950

Under the terms of Sir Henry Wellcome's will the Trust had an obligation to support the understanding of the history of medicine and in the early years this was achieved by developing the Wellcome Historical Medcial Museum and Library. By the 1960s the Trustees were keen to fulfil their obligations through grant funding and in 1966 established the country's first history of medicine university department at University College London (UCL).

By 1966 Wellcome Foundation had not only recovered from its financial problems but had become highly profitable after several lucrative drug discoveries were marketed. This gave the Wellcome Trust much greater scope to develop its funding activities and in 1966 the Trust introduced its first funding policy, articulating what was and was not in scope and setting out new funding streams. The focus was to be on filling national funding gaps and on supporting individuals rather providing funding for buildings and equipment. Until this point, all applications had been considered by the Board of Trustees and the Trust administration was managed by a small number of employees. The focus on personal support resulted in a large increase in the number of grant applications received, leading the Trust to expand its staff and introduce a more sophisticated organisational structure. Advisory panels were introduced to help the Trustees judge applications and the first Wellcome Trust Director, Peter Williams, was appointed in 1967.

The Trust continued to grow throughout the 1970s and early 1980s and its charitable output increased year on year. Additional overseas units were funded to support the World Health Organization's Special Program for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases and the Trust continued to encourage interest in the history of medicine through the establishment of several history of medicine units at universities including Oxford (1972) and Manchester (1986). By 1985 the Trust was dissatisfied with its arrangement with Wellcome Foundation. Despite being valued at £1 billion, the Foundation dividends only granted the Trust charitable expenditure of around £26.5 million a year and the Trust Chairman, Sir David Steel, believed greater income could be gained through well managed investments. In addition, Steel was aware of the dangers of relying on one source of income and was keen to diversify the Trust's portfolio. The Board of Trustees agreed and in 1986 Wellcome Foundation was renamed Wellcome Plc and floated on stock market as a private limited company. Twenty-five per cent of shares were sold, leaving the Wellcome Trust as the majority shareholder. A further thirty-five per cent of shares were later sold in 1992. As a result, the Wellcome Trust's income doubled and it became one of the world's largest grant giving charities. As things stood, the Trustees were liable for the entire share sale worth £2.3 billion and so during the 1992 sale a new corporate entity was formed, Wellcome Trust Ltd. This private limited company became the sole Trustee of the Wellcome Trust, and the Trustees became Governors. The Governors, aided by the Wellcome Trust senior management, now had a role similar to that of a board of directors managing a company. The Trust's staffing levels also grew and a new organisational structure was implemented to allow the Trust to maintain and grow its activities. In January 1995 the Board of Governors sold the majority of the remainder of their shares in Wellcome Plc to Glaxo Plc, allowing a takeover to form Glaxo Wellcome Plc (now GlaxoSmithKline).

Asset diversification and shrewd in-house investment led to a long period of growth for the Trust, resulting in a huge increase in the Wellcome Trust's funding activities and its involvement in various large scale initiatives such as establishing the Sanger Institute, which sequenced one third of the human genome, and co-funding the Diamond Light Source synchrotron and UK Biobank. It also refurbished the Wellcome Building at 185 Euston Road and developed the library and public engagement facilities, culminating in the opening of Wellcome Collection in 2007.

The Wellcome Trust's growth in the 1990s put pressure on accommodation and in the early 2000s the Trust purchased land adjacent to the Wellcome Building and construction on the Gibbs Building, 215 Euston Road (named after former Chairman Roger Gibbs) was completed in 2004. The Wellcome Building was given over to the Wellcome Collection and Library and included a conference centre and public engagement space.

On 3 January 2019 the Trust opened its first international office in Berlin, Germany to enable it to work more closely with international partners.
