The Film and TV Charity

The Film and TV Charity is working behind the scenes of the UK film, TV, and cinema industry, supporting the lives of everyone involved, from researchers to writers, people in casting, to those in post-production, sales, distribution, and exhibition. 

Founded in the early days of cinema in 1924, the Charity is approaching its centenary year. We offer a wide range of support with mental health, financial and social wellbeing to people who have talent, spark and dedication and yet find obstacles in their way. The Charity is also working with a wide range of partners to bring about positive change. 

Through its free, 24/7 Film and TV Support Line, the Charity offers a listening ear, access to counselling, the Bullying Advice Service, legal advice, financial guidance, and much, much more. The Charity has also developed the Whole Picture Toolkit for mentally healthy productions, a free resource that supports mental health on productions of any size and in any genre.
