The Young Patrons’ Circle is one of two successful V&A patrons’ schemes, generating vital unrestricted funds for the museum each year. Launched in 2016, the programme has grown to attract 150+ high-profile international donors between the ages of 20-40 who, in return for their support, receive exclusive benefits including access to a busy events programme. Events range from behind-the scenes tours and close-up viewings of objects with curators, to studio trips and visits to private homes and collections. An annual party and international trip are also part of the programme.
