At ACT we are committed to reducing the risk of family crises by providing resources, support and financial stability to the children of actors and actors with children. We aim to ensure no actor has to choose between their career and their family’s wellbeing.
Empowering Actor-Parents
and building a more inclusive and thriving arts community
By supporting actor-parents, we aim to foster a more representative and authentic dramatic arts community—one that truly reflects the diversity of society and aims to ensure no actor has to choose between their career and their family’s wellbeing.
Through financial assistance, tailored family support, and advocacy, we work to break down barriers, so that both the children of actors and actors with children can thrive—personally, professionally, and creatively.
SEND SUPPORT
“At a time when we were really struggling, we’re so grateful to ACT for supporting us with the cost of our son’s ASD assessment and expert SEN advice. It made a huge difference when we didn’t know where else to turn.”
“It felt like someone had actually listened. The grant meant we could access targeted therapy and tools to support my son’s independence and wellbeing—and that made a huge difference to our whole family.”
It can make a big difference to the families we support
