Alumni news: Brandon wins National King's Trust Award

We are thrilled to announce that former RNC student, Brandon Hulcoop, who previously won the regional King's Trust Award, has now been honoured with the National King's Trust Award.


The news was shared with Brandon by King's Trust Ambassador Fearne Cotton during his appearance on her podcast, 'Happy Place'. Following this, Brandon attended a reception at Buckingham Palace to receive his award from The King.

During his visit to Buckingham Palace, Brandon presented King Charles with a raised-ink image of the royal family on the palace balcony, designed for visually impaired people. He also discussed how the King's Trust's Enterprise course supported him in establishing his business, All Things Dotty, after facing challenges finding employment (watch short film above). He expressed his gratitude to the King, acknowledging the programme's role in his success. Brandon also mentioned his ambition to see Braille menus become a legal requirement in restaurants.
