Mancham’s RSA Fellowship revived |12 February 2016

Seychelles’ Founding President Sir James R. Mancham, KBE has revived his Fellowship of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) which lapsed after he returned to Seychelles from exile in 1993.

Sir James did so at the invitation of the chief executive officer of the Society, Mathew Taylor.

Founded in 1754, the RSA Fellowship is part of a network of 27,000 Fellows who want to change the world for the better.

Building on its 260 years history, the RSA aims to solve some of today’s greatest challenges.

“I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you for helping us to achieve our aims and enriching our society through ideas and actions. Our work could not happen without you,” Mr Taylor told Sir James in a letter dated January 13, 2016.  

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is the Patron of the Society and Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal is the President.

The Society has a House in John Adam Street, London, WC2 which has been the intellectual and social home of some of the greatest thinkers and social activists of the past 260 years.

“While Fellows meet all over the world, the RSA House in London is the historic residence of the RSA where Fellows can meet, work, think and be inspired,” Sir James said.

Registered as a charity in England and Wales, the RSA is also famous for the journal it publishes every month.
