The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust is delighted to announce the honour and privilege that
His Majesty, King Charles III has accepted to become our Patron.
Buckingham Palace have written to us to share the news to mark the first Anniversary of Their
Majesties’ Coronation.
His Majesty has always believed in the Commonwealth as a strong, positive, uniting force for
good across the world and in its young people as drivers of change for the better.
At this year’s Commonwealth Day Service of Celebration during his message the King said:
“The Commonwealth, above all, retains a particular focus on our young
people, who make up two-thirds of the entire Commonwealth population.
Whether in Kenya or Malaysia, Vanuatu or Dominica, Malta, or Canada, I
never cease to be impressed by their creativity, innovative skills, and hard
work, often in the most challenging circumstances. Their energy is
transforming approaches to development, technology and preserving and
restoring Nature and will, I hope, help to shape, and safeguard our
common future.”
Through its active and dynamic network of 850+ young leaders around the world, The
Queen’s Commonwealth Trust exists to support young people who are
transforming their communities in the Commonwealth. The Trust helps them grow their work, share ideas and solutions, and so support more and more people.
Stephen Ball, Chair of The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, said “To have His Majesty The King as
our Patron is an enormous honour and privilege. To have his Majesty’s support as we
continue our work with and for young people will be an inspiration to us all. “
