The Queen has links - as Royal Patron or President - with over 600 charities, military associations, professional bodies and public service organisations. These vary from well-established international charities to smaller bodies working in a specialist area or on a local basis only. Her patronages and charities cover a wide range of issues, from opportunities for young people, to the preservation of wildlife and the environment. Having Her Majesty as 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.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=".vc_custom_1583468316440{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}"][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]
