UK’s Film and TV Charity has launched a series of financial tools to support those in the industry struggling with the cost-of-living crisis.
Partnering with financial support service MoneyHelper, the tools include a budget planner, a bills prioritiser and a savings calculator, and are aimed at both freelancers and those in employment.
The Charity is also continuing its support of stop-gap grants, a work and well-being advice service as well as its 24/7 helpline for mental health support.
Alex Pumfrey, Film and TV Charity’s CEO said: “With the cost-of-living crisis and rising energy bills causing grave concern, we want to ensure that everyone in the TV and film industry has access to the best advice and guidance possible.
”Our new financial tools aren’t a magic bullet to the cost-of-living crisis, but they do offer a greater ability to plan and manage finances and ultimately strengthen resilience…We really hope that people working in film, TV, and cinema can feel financially, emotionally, and practically supported during this incredibly difficult period.”
The tools, advice and grant applications can be accessed via the Film and TV Charity’s website.
