St Mungo's Opening doors for homeless people

Patron, Ambassadors and Celebrity Supporters

Patron

Duke of Kent

St Mungo's is proud to announce that His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent is the charity's first Patron, as it celebrates its 40th anniversary.

The Duke of Kent visited a St Mungo's project last year to see for himself how we are supporting men and women as they recover and rebuild their lives. This visit led to a request from St Mungo's to strengthen the relationship further, given the Duke's concern and interest.
