Quite often we are asked if there is anything specific that the school or our students need – and the simple answer is yes, and indeed quite a range of things! Therefore, we thought it would be a good idea to compile a ‘wish list’ of items (from the inexpensive to the astronomical!) to give an idea of the various types of things that your donation can help us to acquire for LAMDA.
Although not inclusive, this list offers ideas of the many different practical needs of our fundraising efforts. We would be delighted for any contribution towards any of the following or a gift in kind.

We are hugely grateful for the generosity of an anonymous donor who very kindly donated the Grand Piano. Our sincerest thanks also go to MAC and Black Cat Music for their kind support of LAMDA’s Make-Up Department.
We are constantly striving to improve the on-site facilities available to our highly talented students. If you would like to support us in this endeavour, either by making a donation or perhaps assisting us with securing the loan of an item, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact the Development Office on Tel: +44 (0)20 8834 0510 or Email: development@lamda.org.uk.
With your help, LAMDA can continue to encourage new generations of actors and technicians to enrich the UK’s cultural heritage in the dramatic arts.
