The Equity Benevolent Fund

Overnight in March, many thousands of entertainment industry workers lost their livelihoods. A great number of them fall through gaps in the government support schemes and have no means to provide for themselves or their families. Since the lockdown began, the Equity Benevolent Fund has been dealing with more than 250 claims per week for financial support from performers and creatives who cannot afford to pay for food, utilities or other essentials.

Equity has already publicly committed to boosting our Benevolent Fund to £1 million, but more is needed, and we are now asking audiences to help the people whose work they have enjoyed in cinemas, theatres, pubs, clubs, circuses, cruise ships, at festivals, events and parties, and continue to enjoy on TV, radio and online under lockdown.
