Scholarships

In April 2013, Leighton Buzzard Children’s Theatre set up a special award in memory of William Ross who had been the group's treasurer since 1996. William, who had lived in Leighton Buzzard for almost twenty years, was affectionately known as Bill. Bill worked tirelessly for the local community group, not only as treasurer but as photographer, set builder, and a host of other roles. Bill helped the group give tens of thousands of pounds to local, national and international charities including Macmillan Cancer Support, The Laura Crane Trust, SAMM, British Heart Foundation and many many more. Bill was known to the hundreds and hundreds of children who have trod the boards with LBCT. His sudden death in March 2013 left the group shocked and saddened, but his memory will live on in the group

In memory of treasurer Bill Ross, LBCT award scholarship places for LBCT each thalf erm. These members are chosen for their commitment, enthusiasm, attendance, and progress in their respective groups. Each recipient gets a certificate to keep and a free place in their group for half a term
