Our Story
Building on over 270 years of social change.
From our inception supporting new inventions, ideas and design, to the RSA of today - we’re committed to a world that is resilient, rebalanced and regenerative, where everyone can fulfil their potential.
We aim to harness the curiosity, creativity and courage of our community to realise change: the knowledge and experience of our people; the expertise and global reach of our Fellowship community; and the ecosystem of influencer and organisations in society.
