The Duchess of Cambridge has been announced as patron of The Foundling Museum, and will work with the organisation to 'transform the wellbeing and life chances of vulnerable children and young adults through creative collaboration with artists'.

Kate visited the Museum to learn more about its pioneering programmes this week, and said 'I feel hugely proud today to be here today to become Patron of the Foundling Museum. Your work connects and celebrates two subjects that are deeply important to me: children, and art. I am passionate about improving children’s life chances and giving them opportunities, so that they can look forward to the best possible futures, fulfil their whole potential, and have the freedom to explore their creativity'.
