In May 2024, following a review of the charities and organisations to which the late Queen Elizabeth II was connected as President or Patron, The Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC) was deeply honoured to when His Majesty King Charles III accepted the Patronage of the charity.
The news was shared with RSBC to mark the first anniversary of King Charles and Queen Camilla’s Coronation. Our CEO Julie Davis said: “We have been privileged to have enjoyed many years of patronage from the Royal Family, and so we were delighted to receive the news that His Majesty will be continuing this tradition. This is a great honour for our charity, everyone who supports us, and the children, young people and families who use our services.”
“We know that King Charles is dedicated to improving the lives of young people to build better futures, and we are very thankful to him for his acceptance of the Patronage of our charity. His Majesty’s commitment will give us added momentum across all our services, and will reinforce our own commitment to helping vision impaired children and young people fulfil their potential and live their lives without limits.”
