AETF LEGACY FUND

The AETF Legacy Fund was set up to help groups to run a Seminar or Workshop if they did not win through to an AETF Semi-Final, thus enabling the AETF to extend its aims of encouraging and enhancing the grass roots development of amateur theatre.

It was started in 2019 in thanks to a generous anonymous donation, and was then added to by further donations made in honour of our former Treasurer, Roger Cunnington.

The fund will continue to grow by the allocation of all donations made annually under the Friends of the AETF scheme
