Supporting the film, TV and cinema industry

Big or small, every donation helps support the mental health of people in our industry, funds our free, confidential Film and TV Support Line, and provides other resources to help make work better for thousands of people.

For many in our industry, our services are a lifeline – just one of our Stop-Gap Grants can help someone heat their home, put food on their table and keep a roof over their head, while our Support Line provides a listening ear whenever it’s needed. 

You can even make your donation annually – ensuring we can support people across your industry for years to come. 

So, please show your support for the people who make our film, TV, and cinema industry one of the best in the world by donating today.
