The acting, theatrical, and entertainment world is full of amazing organisations dedicated to supporting our community. Whether you need help with your career, mental health, retirement, housing, or something else entirely, there's likely a charity out there that can help.

We have expectations of Actors' Trust members who are effectively ambassadors to identify potential new beneficiaries, new sources of funding and to identify new ways of meeting the evolving needs of members of the acting and stage management community facing hardship. These expectations are particularly so now that the Actors' Trust looks to involve more members as volunteers in both the governance and activity of the charity.
