King Charles III is the new Patron of Leonard Cheshire


We are delighted and honoured to announce that His Majesty King Charles III is the new Patron of Leonard Cheshire Disability.

This follows a review of more than 1,000 Royal Patronages after His Majesty The King’s Accession.

Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II supported Leonard Cheshire for over four decades having become our Patron in 1980.

The charity was informed of the new Patronage by Buckingham Palace, ahead of the one-year anniversary of Their Majesties' Coronation.

Ruth Owen, CEO of Leonard Cheshire said:

"This was wonderful news to receive. We are proud and delighted that His Majesty The King has confirmed acceptance of Patronage of the charity.

"It is a huge privilege and honour that our essential work with disabled people has been recognised in this wonderful way.

"His Majesty’s Patronage will be warmly welcomed by those we support, Trustees, staff and our supporters."
