Supporting everyone behind the scenes in film, tv and cinema 

Working behind the scenes in film, TV, and cinema can be a lot of fun. Helping to bring stories to life for millions of viewers is a truly exciting career – but we know that following your dreams can also come with its challenges. That’s why we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Our support is available to everyone working behind the scenes in film, TV, and cinema.

Every year, we support thousands of people to address personal and professional obstacles, including ones that impact mental health, financial wellbeing, or that are caused by workplace culture. We are completely independent and our support is always impartial and confidential.
