Stop-Gap Grants

Immediate support to help manage urgent financial needs

Our Stop-Gap Grants can provide you with immediate support to help manage urgent financial needs when you have nowhere else to turn. If financial worries are holding you back, we’re here to support you.

Grants are generally no more than £500, although we may consider requests up to £750 at our discretion.

Requirements

To be eligible to apply you must:

• Work in a behind the scenes role in film or television in the UK.
• Be involved in creating or distributing entertainment that is shown in cinemas, broadcast on UK TV channels or on-demand services, or streamed on pay-to-view digital platforms.

You will need to have had at least 40 days (about one and a half months) of paid work in the last 18 months, or to have worked at least two years in film and TV and seeking funding to return to work after a career break.
