In 1988 HRH The Princess Royal
challenged staff, students and alumni
of Cran昀椀eld University to use their
skills to bene昀椀t the voluntary sector.
As a result, Cran昀椀eld Trust was
founded.
In May 1989, Cran昀椀eld Trust became a registered charity
with the vision to build successful charities. As Patron of
the Trust, HRH The Princess Royal continues to be an
active supporter and advocate of the Trust’s work.
“On the 35th Anniversary of Cran昀椀eld Trust
I would like to congratulate the charity
for the signi昀椀cant impact it has had
in the sector and the difference it makes
to charity leaders and small charities
across the United Kingdom.
“The mission of Cran昀椀eld Trust to harness
the skills and knowledge of volunteers
to help charities, adapt, succeed and
deliver social change remains as strong
as it did when it was 昀椀rst founded.
“As Patron of the Trust, I would like to thank
the dedicated staff team at Cran昀椀eld Trust
as well as the skilled volunteers who give
their time and share their knowledge free
of charge. They bene昀椀t thousands
of charities every year, which in turn
support some of the most vulnerable
people in our communities.”
Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal, Patron,
