That is exceptionally wonderful news! My wife and I had a talk last night about how we were going to afford going into January. Now we can, and we can’t be more thankful.

Equity Charitable trust offered me a lifeline in the form of a grant. Their help made my burden a little bit lighter. Thank you so much!

I can’t say anything more than… thank you. This is unbelievable. I am truly, truly grateful and amazed that I have been awarded this grant. I’ve never received any sort of grant or funding from an arts based organisation, but to have Equity provide me with the stability in knowing that my rent and bills are covered going into January…I feel like I’ve won the lottery; I really do. I feel like my work in the arts has been validated and the sense of community this brings with it is phenomenal. I feel inspired. Again, I can’t really say much more other than, thank you. This is quite literally, a lifeline.

Following a serious road accident I became chronically disabled and unable to get about. The Trust gave me my independence back by part funding a special particularly hefty motorised wheelchair. They also alerted me to unclaimed benefits from the state and were very helpful.

I cannot thank Equity Charitable Trust enough. After an accident which left me in the position of possibly being unable to walk, they paid for all my specialised physiotherapy, which enabled me to be mobile. Thank you again, Equity Charitable Trust. I will never forget you.
