Luke's Story

Hi there!

My name is Luke Rose and I am:

an actor,

facilitator,

supply teacher,

barman,

cleaner

and soon to appear in a one man play at the Café Canal Theatre.

I have a lot of jobs!

And in spite all of that, current costs of living and some poor turns of luck have left me struggling financially.

One of my good friends told me about the Actors’ Trust and from the very first email I felt really safe. Not only did they respond with warmth and compassion, but they also helped me navigate precisely what documents I needed (I am no good with that stuff) and to top it off they called to ask some more detailed questions to help understand exactly what I was going through.

Without them I wouldn’t have got the funding and without the funding I’d have to cancel the next two shows I would be appearing in.
