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.

Explore our FAQ page to find clear information on eligibility, funding amounts, and how our grants support professional actors and stage managers with guidance on applying and what documentation is required.

If you want to find out about how our application process works you have come to the right place! On this page, we outline all the steps involved.

You can expect us to treat you with respect, listen to your needs, communicate clearly, and act with kindness and integrity, while ensuring your information is handled confidentially. In return, we ask that you treat our staff with respect, provide accurate information, and understand that while we strive to help, our capacity and response times may vary.

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.
