Become an Industry Friend

Our Industry Friends programme is open to organisations of any size that want to make a lasting impact on the wellbeing of those working behind the scenes in the UK’s film, TV, and cinema industries.

With a yearly donation between £3,000 and £15,000 you’ll be contributing to a healthier, happier entertainment community.

How Industry Friends support the Film & TV Charity

Your involvement as an Industry Friend plays a crucial role in sustaining the work of The Film & TV Charity, which is entirely funded through voluntary donations. With your support, we can provide essential services like mental health support, financial assistance, and professional development resources to those in need across the industry.

By becoming an Industry Friend, you are showing your commitment to the people who make UK film, TV, and cinema possible, joining a network of like-minded companies dedicated to positive change.

When you donate, you’ll help ensure the continued availability of services that support the wellbeing of behind-the-scenes professionals. Your contribution will provide immediate relief for those facing financial hardship, bolster mental health services, and promote safe, inclusive working environments across the industry.
