The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust is delighted to announce its new name: The Queen Elizabeth II Commonwealth Trust (QECT), a change that honours the extraordinary legacy of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on request of His Majesty The King and Buckingham Palace.
This name change is more than symbolic – it reaffirms our mission to support young leaders across the Commonwealth who are driving positive, lasting change in their communities. Her late Majesty was a lifelong champion of the Commonwealth and a passionate advocate for its young people. By carrying her name forward, we pay tribute to her firm belief in the power of youth to shape a better future.
We are deeply honoured that His Majesty The King is guiding QECT into this next chapter as our honourable Patron. His continued support underscores the enduring importance of our work and the relevance of our mission in today’s world.
As The Queen Elizabeth II Commonwealth Trust, we remain committed to empowering young changemakers with the tools, networks, and opportunities they need to create a more equitable, sustainable, and inclusive future – true to the vision of Her late Majesty.
While our name has changed to The Queen Elizabeth II Commonwealth Trust (QECT), our social media handles remain the same for your convenience. However, the display name on all our social media platforms has been updated to reflect our new identity. We invite you to continue following and engaging with us as we move forward under this name, staying true to our mission and the legacy of Her late Majesty.
