This week, The Film and TV Charity announced that it is making an additional £500,000 available to film, television, and cinema workers who are facing financial hardship.
With the cost-of-living crisis, uncertainty in production, and strikes in the US all having an impact on people working behind the scenes in the UK, this support is needed now more than ever.
As well as helping people with an urgent financial need, your donations also ensure that our Film and TV Support Line is there, 24/7, for anyone who needs it. They help us support the mental health and wellbeing of the industry’s workforce, and they help us deliver the tools and advice people need to become financially resilient.
The film, TV, and cinema workforce is the backbone of our brilliant industry and, with your support, they can navigate the things that are holding them back.
