The Queen Elizabeth Trust is a United Kingdom-based independent charity established to mark the 100th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's birth.[1] Her son and successor, King Charles III, was named as the organisation's inaugural patron.[2] The charity's launch will be marked on 21 April 2026.[2] The UK Government provided a one-off £40 million endowment as initial funding.[3] The main goal of the charity is to strengthen communities across the UK by supporting and revitalising shared local spaces.[1] It aims to fund and restore community hubs like parks and gathering places, help bring people together across different backgrounds, and support local groups with resources, skills, and training to run events and activities.[1]
