The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre only survived the threat of closure in 1969 with the generous and committed support and donations of individuals.
We continue to rely on individuals to support us. If you would like to show your appreciation for and to support our work, you can make a one-off donation, join as a Member, Name a Seat or remember us in your will.
“When I unexpectedly arrived in a position to make a philanthropic donation, Hammersmith, with its dedication to the local community, was my choice. I could not be more delighted to be able to help. I have been made to feel part of the theatre and witness it first-hand give youngsters the programme and pricing to be the audience of the future.”Lyric Member
