“Thanks so much for getting back to us, for your understanding and acknowledgement of how awful things are in the theatre right now. It really makes a difference when you are met with such compassion! We massively appreciate it.”
ACT welcomes all donations: your generosity helps us continue our essential work. We are especially grateful for the extraordinary gift of legacies which give the charity its strength and enables us to reach more families. You can choose to become a member of ACT when you are giving, so that we can share good news and progress with you.
Most actors are poorly paid and work hours that are not family friendly. Most jobs are time limited and often involve being away from home. It’s hard for anyone to pursue an unpredictable career while raising a family, but the challenge can be even greater for actors’ families with additional needs, disability or illness.
ACT’s trustees are mainly actors who are parents, including people who have received help and support from ACT in the past. They believe parents deserve a better chance in the business — supporting actors’ children is ACT’s particular role in this. Every parent who drops out of acting is a loss to the profession’s diversity.
For gifts of £1,000 or more, please consider becoming a Sponsor of ACT.
