The Lancing Society & Community
The Lancing Society includes The Lancing Foundation, the 1848 Legacy Society, Lancing Linked, The OL Club, The Lancing Parents Association (LPA), the two Prep School Associations and the Friends of Lancing Chapel. A Lancing Society subscription is charged to all current parents and culminates in a lifetime membership for parents and their child. The Foundation Office (located in the Old Bursary) is the administrative hub for the 8 different associations and oversees OL (alumni), parent and community engagement, and fundraising initiatives.
