After a major trauma injury in rehearsals causing a prolonged absence from work I was referred to the Equity Charitable Trust. They were quick, caring and supportive in their correspondence and offered me a generous grant to subsidise the necessary specialist treatment. Without their support I wouldn’t have been able to get the quality or quantity of physical and mental support I needed to get me back to work. With heartfelt thanks, Hal

This is wonderful news. I am very grateful to accept your grant at this difficult and uncertain time.

I am indebted to the Equity Charitable Trust for their financial support, they helped me to move homes, when I was threatened with eviction, at a time when I was unable to work due to ill health.

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.

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!
