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.
We offer modest grants for Capital Building Projects that benefit actors directly.
DCD support is available to all professional dancers, from all genres of dance and at any stage of your career.
These grants of up to £1,250 support dancers to ‘dip your toe in the water’ by taking a short course in a potential new career field of interest.
The grants are allocated towards course fees only, including, for example:
Holiday grants for those who are getting their health back or just need a longed for break
This was set up in 1968, when Evelyn Norris bequeathed two properties to be used as a home for members of the concert and theatrical professions. The properties were eventually sold and nowadays the Trust provides holiday grants to those who are convalescing, undergoing treatment, are in poor health or need a longed for break.
Applications are considered on a monthly basis at the end of each month. You will be notified of our decision at the beginning of the month.
The Actors’ Benevolent Fund can support actors and stage managers who are unable to work due to health, life events, and old age and in financial need.
Acting for Others exists to provide both financial and emotional support to all theatre workers in times of need, through our network of 14 member charities. If you need us, please get in touch.
