Who is the Ragged Boy?
Peter Clitheroe
What does he do?
RSA
I was formerly Deputy Chair of the Fellowship Council at the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of the Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) which was established in 1754 and has a broad mission is to enrich society through ideas and action.
From 2017 until December 2020 I helped represent and support almost 30,000 RSA Fellows around the world, encouraging and enabling them and others to collaborate on projects that work towards the Society’s mission. I also worked with staff and Fellows and advising trustees of the RSA on policy issues.
I remain engaged with specific RSA projects. Take a look at the two minute animation here for an idea of what the RSA is about.
