Working behind the scenes in film, TV, and cinema can be a lot of fun. The ability to imagine, create and show stories through film, TV and cinema is a truly exciting career. But we know that following your dreams doesn’t come without its challenges. Every year we support thousands of people in film, TV and cinema to address and overcome personal and professional obstacles. Some have needed to reb

uild their confidence, get past a crisis, develop a new skill, or realise a dream project, whilst others have needed more practical support, such as an emergency grant, or access to mental health support. Our support and services mean talented people working behind the scenes in the industry, ranging from those working on set to those based in an office, feel like they can continue to fulfil their dreams and succeed. Available to everyone working behind the scenes in film, TV, and cinema – from Make-Up Artists to VFX teams, Production Managers and Casting Agents and those Freelancing on a project, through to office workers in sales, finance, marketing, or distribution, our friendly, professional advisors are here to help you.

“I urge anyone in our industry who’s struggling - don’t wait until everything falls apart. The Film and TV Charity is a lifeline.” (Screenwriter who received support from us)

For many people working behind the scenes, things can build quietly - pressure, uncertainty, feeling stuck or overwhelmed - until it becomes too much to manage alone.

That’s where we come in.

Our Work and Wellbeing Adviser offers one‑to‑one, tailored support to help you navigate whatever you’re facing - whether it’s a challenge at work, thinking about your next step, or dealing with something more personal.

You don’t have to have all the answers. You just need to take the first step.

What is the Anti-Racism Wellbeing Service?

The Anti-Racism Wellbeing Service provides free, confidential one-to-one sessions for Black and Global Majority professionals working behind the scenes in UK film, TV, and cinema.

Facilitated by Dr Anthony Newton, it offers an opportunity to talk through the impact of racism, racialised harm, exclusion or, discrimination with someone who brings both professional expertise and lived understanding.

So, whether you're struggling with a current situation, reflecting on past experiences, feeling disconnected in your workplace, or navigating the pressures of being one of very few people of colour in your team or production - this service is here for you.

There is no threshold for reaching out. You don't need to be in crisis, have all the answers, or know exactly what you need.

If something about your working life feels affected by race or racism, this is a place to start a conversation.
