Former prime minister, Baroness Theresa May, has been appointed as Printing Charity president for 2025, following fellow conservative Nicky Morgan in 2024
The Printing Charity has announced Baroness Theresa May as its 2025 president.
The former prime minister, now a member of the House of Lords, stood down as member of parliament (MP) in 2024 after 27 years in government. She is the second woman to hold the position for The Printing Charity since its name change in 2010, following fellow conservative, Nicky Morgan, in 2024.
The role has been undertaken by a range of political figures, including former prime ministers. The charity, previously known as the Printers' Charitable Corporation, has existed since 1827. In that time, the role of president was also carried out by members of the royal family including Diana, Princess of Wales.
May will be the keynote speaker at the charity’s 196th Annual Luncheon, which will be held in the City of London on November 13th, 2025.
Speaking of her appointment, May says: “Print plays a vitally important part in ensuring that as many people as possible can have access to information they need to know.
“While the ways in which we receive information has proliferated over the years, I know through a long career in politics – and the many thousands of campaign leaflets I have delivered – the vital role that print plays, and will continue to play, in terms of getting a message across. I am therefore delighted to be the Printing Charity’s 2025 president.”
Printing Charity chief executive officer, Neil Lovell, adds: “We are delighted that Baroness May has agreed to hold the office of Printing Charity president this year, joining an illustrious group of presidents including many former prime ministers.
“Baroness May has worked tirelessly, both in office and since her political retirement, against social injustice. For someone of her experience and stature to acknowledge the ongoing critical role of the print sector in modern life through taking this honorary role is a real honour for our industry.”
In January the charity also appointed three new trustees, to help support the charity’s future plans and ambitions as the organisation approaches its 200th anniversary in 2027.
