Financial Support
The right financial support, tools and resources for you
The cost-of-living crisis has left lots of industry workers with new financial worries and concerns. But with support, information, and resources specifically for people working in film, TV, or cinema, we can help you find the right financial support, from one-off grants to help you in a crisis, to useful tools like our budget planner.
Wellbeing Hub
How can the Freelancer Hub help you?
Life as a Freelancer can give you freedom and flexibility. However, for many Freelancers in the industry, a lack of consistent support can lead to uncertainty and increased pressure. As more than 50% of the film and TV workforce is made up of Freelancers, the Film and TV charity have created this hub so you can easily access a fantastic range of self-help tools and resources. They are all designed to help you take care of your most important business asset – YOU!
