The Flora London Marathon 

Simon Cryer's first and last marathon run raised £1300 for the trust. This is a magnificent achievement and everyone in the Trust is deeply grateful to him.

He also raised equally impressive funds for Breast Cancer Care and The Huntington's Disease Association (HDA).

Simon, a friend and colleague who worked with Sophie throughout her time at the Stephen Joseph Theatre has raised substantial funds for the Trust since it was founded in 1996

International Women's' Week at the Hackney Empire - March 2003

Thanks to actress Susie McKenna the Trust received a cheque for £500 from Theatrecares. This generous gesture initiated by Susie, one of Sophie's oldest friends & colleague from her season at Nottingham Playhouse, is deeply appreciated by everyone in the Trust.

Thank you Susie.

Both of the donations mentioned above will go towards the sixth new play for Sophie in 2004.

As They Like It contains a wide variety of recipes contributed by actors and other people in the theatre world who either knew or worked with Sophie or simply wanted to support the trust and what it is aiming to do.

You could enjoy a Chilled Tomato Soup from Nigel Hawthorne or perhaps a Tarte aux Asparagus from Marcia Warren. If they're not to you liking why not try the Salmon Fishcakes from the RNT or Two Minute Chicken from Sir Cameron Mackintosh.

The book was compiled by Margaret Maughan with illustrations by Katherine Spring. Cover design by Ted and Lyn Rockley and printed by Pryor Publications. As They Like It is available from the trust for only £7.50 (inc P&P) and all proceeds go directly to the trust. Send your request with a cheque for the correct amount to:
