Charities and Patronages

Members of the Royal Family have links with hundreds of charities, military associations, professional bodies and public service organisations. Some are well known, while others may be smaller bodies working in a very specialist area or on a local basis only.

Having a Royal patron or president provides vital publicity for the work of these organisations, and allows their enormous achievements and contributions to society to be recognised.

You can use this database to find the organisations with which members of the Royal Family are associated.

    From the letter inviting PSSR to accept Patronage: "In brief we are complementary to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in that we seek to restore the graves of soldiers and sailors killed before the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s remit which, as you will know, operates from 1914. This is an illogical anomaly which we determined to correct when the charity was formed about two years ago."
