Royal Charter Consultancy Service
There are a number of reasons why your organisation may wish to
consider petitioning for a Royal Charter, including:
- Recognition of professional expertise -
- Increased public confidence and awareness -
- Strengthen the organisation/brand -
- Create aspiration -
The granting of a Royal Charter is reserved for eminent professional bodies or charities which have a solid record of achievement and are financially sound. In the case of professional bodies, they should represent a field of activity which is unique and not covered by other professional bodies.
We can help you to understand the benefits and give an in-depth knowledge to help
you consider the position of your organisation. Find out more...
