The Victoria League has been honoured to receive the continued patronage of Her Majesty The Queen  Elizabeth II from 1953 to 2022. She attended various League events over the years to mark special  occasions for both her and our charity. Pictured below is the late Queen, accompanied by the late  Prince Philip, cutting the cake during The League's centenary celebrations in 2001 and Her Majesty  planting a tree in Windsor Great Park in 1997. The Victoria League presented this tree to the late  Queen on the occasion of her Golden Wedding Anniversary. 

In 2012 to honour Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee, the charity financed the building of a secondary  school in the Pujehan district of Sierra Leone. Since then we have continued to support projects in  Commonwealth countries including: Malaysian Borneo, Rwanda and Bangladesh. 

In 2016 members of the Victoria League attended the Patron's Lunch. The Mall in St James’s Park was  transformed for its largest ever street party to celebrate The late Queen’s patronage of over 600  charities and organisations on the occasion of her 90th birthday.

During the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in 2018 (hosted by the UK). Staff  and students from Student House attended a birthday concert for Her Majesty at The Royal Albert Hall.

It was with sadness that we laid flowers and sent messages, of condolence, on her death to her family.

We were delighted in May 2024 when His Majesty King Charles III accepted Patronage.

His Majesty continues his mother's support for the League with donations from the privy purse.

We are proud to have a long line of royal patronage:
