Default Sophie's charities and patronages

Sophie has a number of charities and patronages. Her two largest and most high profile are ChildLine and Girlguides UK. She was the patron of a number of child health charities before the birth of Louise. Since the birth of Louise she has added five or six charities to her name - two cultural, two about farming and the countryside and the other is related to the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. She was already patron of Vision 2020: The right to sight before the birth of Louise. She has added no new patronages since James birth.

Watch someone come in to correct me and me get embarrassed at my inaccuracy.
There are some childrens hospitals/health organisations from what I could find.
A link to all of the organisations that Sophie is involved with, there are a couple of duplications for some reason. I had absolutely no idea that she was patron of Mencap or the National Autistic Society!

That's a coding problem at the site, I wonder sometimes if they bother looking at the finished product to see how things work out.
