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.
