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.

This is absolutely brilliant news. I cannot thank you enough for this incredible generosity. An instant weight has been lifted and I am beyond grateful.

I just wanted to write to thank you for your wonderful generosity in helping us with our heating system and financial difficulty. We are both incredibly humbled at your kindness and I can’t tell you how much pressure it has taken off us. We are both full time jobbing actors and as you know it’s incredibly tough and cash flow fluctuates on an extreme level. The ECT has REALLY helped us to breathe and sleep a little easier.

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.
