His Majesty King Charles III retains his longstanding Patronage of the Cambridge Trust

We were delighted to be informed that His Majesty King Charles III retains his Patronage of the Cambridge Commonwealth, European & International Trust. This wonderful news was shared with us to mark the first anniversary of Their Majesties’ Coronation.

His Majesty has supported the Trust’s work in helping students to take up their places at Cambridge since the Cambridge Commonwealth & Overseas Trusts were established in the 1980s.  Since then, the Cambridge Trust has helped more than 22,000 students from across the world take up their places at the University of Cambridge.

Helen Pennant, Director of the Trust, said “His Majesty’s Patronage has been an honour and an inspiration to the Trust. I would like to extend heartfelt thanks on behalf of the Trust’s staff, Trustees, partners and the students we support.”
