Waitrose Community Matters
The Lantern Arts Centre was supported by the Raynes Park Waitrose store in 2020 which very gratefully received during the difficult lockdown period. In-store and online, Waitrose donate a portion of money between different charities each month – and their customers decide who gets what. So far, they’ve donated over £35 million to good causes around the country – and there’s still more to be done.
Bayley & Sage
A regular financial supporter of the LAC in 2020 & part of an invaluable lockdown lifeline. Bayley & Sage welcomed its first customers to the Wimbledon Village store in 1997, and now you’ll find them serving several more local London communities: Parsons Green, Turnham Green, Fulham, Battersea, Wandsworth and most recently Chelsea. Bayley & Sage take pride in delivering the same superb quality, knowledge and provenance in all stores, and whatever you’re shopping for, Bayley & Sage products reflect the best of the season whether its fruit, vegetables, meat or cheese or the delicious seasonal dishes prepared in in-house kitchens.

LAC Angels
We have adopted the term 'LAC Angel' for individuals who regularly give financially to the Lantern Arts Centre. There are many things that we need to fund; from refreshments to props, costumes, scripts, lighting equipment and more. Most of all though our Angels help to cover core costs like our staff, offices and utilities. Having as many angels as possible will help to secure the LAC’s long-term future. Having a regular income enables us to plan ahead with confidence so we can develop and achieve our vision for the local, and wider, community.
