It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the death of Her Majesty the Queen, who was NSPCC President from 1943 to 1952 and our Royal patron from 1953 to 2016.
During this time she supported us in numerous ways, including attending our centenary thanksgiving service at St Paul's Cathedral in 1984, visiting our national training centre in 1989 and hosting a reception at St James's Palace in 2007 to mark the end of our FULL STOP appeal.
We know that during this moment of national shock and mourning many children will be feeling anxious. We have advice on supporting young people's mental health. Further support is available for children struggling with anxiety at Childline.
