The Sheepdrove Trust, based in Lambourn, Berkshire, is a charity created by Peter and Juliet Kindersley, the founders of the publisher Dorling Kindersley.  The Trust’s aim is to promote environmental and educational causes together with research into natural farming systems.  As trustees of the Sheepdrove Trust they share many of the values so important to The Watermill such as supporting creativity, challenging ideas and broadening people’s horizons, and wish to see the theatre continue to flourish.  The Watermill Board is extremely grateful to them for so generously supporting the Save The Watermill appeal.

Juliet and Peter Kindersley of the Sheepdrove Trust say: "We are delighted to support a neighbouring trust in the Lambourn valley whose work we so much admire. From the moment we first visited The Watermill we recognized a shared spirit. We felt so much at home in this well-loved place and hugely admire the way in which the theatre achieves such phenomenally high standards of performance while giving the audience a very special, personal welcome. We are so pleased that the Sheepdrove Trust can play a part in enabling the theatre’s energy and vision to continue into the future."

Ralph Bernard, Chairman of The Watermill Theatre Appeal adds:
"This is absolutely wonderful news.  This hugely generous gift brings us even closer to our target of raising £3 million which will enable us to complete the essential building work."

Meanwhile, the process is underway for recruiting a new Artistic/Executive Director who will carry The Watermill Theatre vision into the future.
