On Thursday 23 November, LAE was delighted to welcome legendary actor and activist Sir Ian McKellen to deliver a lecture as part of our lecture series.

Sir Ian, a co-founder of Stonewall, spent time with our LGBT Network learning about their excellent work in the college.

The LAE LGBT Network was established in 2015 and are an important part of the LAE community.  They run campaigns around the school, organise visiting lecturers and fundraise for LGBT charities.

One of their priorities for this year is supporting the growth of the network in other schools and they hope that the visit from Sir Ian will provide a catalyst for this
