Pat Thane and Christine Counsell join as Patrons

Our list of Patrons expands again today with two incredibly well-respected women from the history community kindly agreeing to support the Trust's aims. Christine Counsell is a Senior Lecturer at Cambridge University and the Editor of Teaching History - the Historical Association's journal for over 3,500 history teachers. She will bring much experience of having helped to develop the history curriculum and the pressures history teachers are under. Our next confirmed Patron is Professor Pat Thane, Leverhulme Professor of Contemporary British History and Director, Centre for Contemporary British History. We are really chuffed both of them have agreed to be Patrons since they are incredibly busy with lots of other organisations.

So that brings our latest list of Patrons to nine: Professor David Cannadine, Rt Hon John Hutton MP, Tony Robinson, Karen Pollock, Professor Brian Brivati, Dr Tristram Hunt, Ben Macintyre, Christine Counsell and Professor Pat Thane

More to be confirmed soon, so watch this space!
