Benefits support for film and TV professionals

If you work in film and TV – freelance or PAYE – your income can fluctuate, and it’s not always clear what support you qualify for. Turn2us offers free tools and guidance to help you navigate the benefits system and check what you might be missing. 

Already receiving benefits? You could still be entitled to more. 

In this live demo, we’ll walk you through the Turn2us tools, showing you how to use them and understand your entitlements.
