UK's The Film and TV Charityhas launched a programme to support wellbeing among screen-sector workers.

The Film and TV Charity is launching its inaugural ambassadors programme, headed by Amma Asante, David Morrissey, Kit de Waal and Marverine Cole.

The four official ambassadors will raise the programme profile, designed to strengthen the organisation’s mission to improve the well-being of behind-the-scenes workers in film, TV, and cinema.

Last year was the organisation’s centenary, marking 100 years of support for screen-sector workers. This year, the Charity is due to launch its latest Looking Glass survey report, the next phase of the Reel Impact programme for mid-senior level Black and Global Majority workers and organisations and ongoing work to develop industry-wide mental health standards.

The Film and TV Charity runs a free, 24/7 Film and TV Support Line, access to counselling, the Bullying Advice Service, legal advice, financial guidance, and more. The charity has also developed the Whole Picture Toolkit for mentally healthy productions, a free resource that supports mental health on productions of any size and in any genre.
