Patron
We are delighted to learn that His Majesty the King will continue his patronage of the Isaac Newton Trust. The Trustees were delighted to receive this news which marks the first anniversary of Their Majesties' Coronation. Since its foundation, the Isaac Newton Trust has enjoyed the Patronage of His Majesty The King, who chaired the first meeting of the Trustees on 22 November 1988 when he was the Prince of Wales.
