Supporting everyone behind the scenes in film, tv and cinema

Our support is available to everyone working behind the scenes in film, TV, and cinema – whether you work on set, in post-production, office roles or in exhibition.

While it’s an exciting career, we know it can also bring real challenges. That’s why we provide independent, impartial, and confidential support to help with mental health, financial wellbeing, and workplace issues.

Talk to someone right now

If it’s not an emergency but you want to talk to someone now, our free and confidential 24-hour Support Line is here for you.

After facing harassment, discrimination, and systemic abuse, the Charity’s guidance and support gave me the strength to rebuild my confidence and reclaim my voice.
