Story

This page is in memory of Will Nelson and Kayleigh Smith who tragically lost their lives in the funicular tram crash in Lisbon.

The last time I saw them both was at 53two, they both supported Offcut - the annual theatre festival, where the audience pick a winner from a series of short plays, by new writers.

Kayleigh was a theatre director and the two of them shared a love of theatre and watched in awe, as former students of his stepped onto the stage and wowed them both at 53two.

So the money raised here in their memory will go towards two great causes:

1. 53two - to support them in their work with the local community, including She Shares and the PMA Grant which benefits people linked to the arts with their mental health.

2. MADS Theatre Macclesfield (Macclesfield Amateur Dramatic Society) is a place that Kayleigh loved to support. She undertook many roles there over time, including front of house and Head of Tech. MADS is a charity and this money will help them to continue to provide great opportunities for local people.

Will and Kayleigh loved to support these two places, so if you can keep their legacy going, so many people will benefit from your kindness in their names.

Please share this page and thanks for all of your donations and lovely messages. The amount raised is incredible and highlights how well liked these two were.
