Lewis Sewell from Castle Donington was diagnosed with a rare cancer on 5th February 2020. Before his terminal diagnosis, he was preparing to audition for drama school, and he saw how difficult it is for young people to access opportunities available in the arts industry. He came up with the idea of establishing a fund to support aspiring actors and set out the criteria himself for the awards.
