Baroness Floella Benjamin joins as honorary patron

We’re thrilled to introduce our new Honorary Patron, Baroness Floella Benjamin. Admired for her powerful voice in both the arts and politics, Lady Benjamin was appointed a Life Peer in 2010. In her early career, she was a presenter of UK children’s programmes such as Play School and Jamboree. She has appeared in numerous theatre productions, including Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar and The Black Mikado. When asked to join our team, she shared, “This is music to my ears… as childhood lasts a lifetime and the experience of being in the theatre will stay with them forever. Hooray!’

Baroness Benjamin joins Sir Tom Stoppard and Sir Nicholas Hytner as our Honorary Patrons.
