To donate or get help go to - www.actorsbenevolentfund.org.au/The survival of our performing arts and artists has never been so threatened.
Actors Benevolent Fund in partnership with
Seaborn, Broughton & Walford Foundation
have created the
COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund
With all our theatres and entertainment venues closed, festivals and events cancelled, film and television productions put on hold, thousands of actors, directors, designers, sound and lighting creatives, playwrights, stage managers and technical crew are out of work.
Most entertainment workers live from hand to mouth with very little savings or financial backup but they are always generous in volunteering their talents to aid other needy causes
We ask you to play a crucial part in keeping our performing artists and arts alive during this crisis by donating to Actors Benevolent Fund of NSW.
The COVID-19 Assistance Fund provides urgent quick response aid to meet bills: medical (including mental health costs), pharmaceutical, household expenses such as car registration or electricity/gas bills and offers vouchers for purchasing food and fuel. In April we will be providing vouchers for flu vaccinations. ABF is also helping with domestic travel for artists stranded away from home due to cancellations.
Every dollar donated to this fund goes to helping an artist in distress.
WE ASK YOU TO DONATE TO THE COVID-19 EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FUND
