The Film and TV Charity, formerly the CTBF (Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund), is the leading UK charity for people working behind the scenes in the film, cinema and television industries, whose careers cover all aspects of pre-production and beyond, from script to screen and in a variety of roles.
The charity operates out of its main London office, located at 22 Golden Square, in Soho and their services are available across the whole of the UK.
The charity owns the trademark for the Royal Film Performance, an event that has previously been attended by HM The Queen or other members of the British Royal Family. The most recent Royal Film Performance was in 2019 for the Sam Mendes film 1917.
The charity runs a 24/7 Support Line which is free and confidential for anyone in the community working behind the scenes in film, TV and cinema. The support line is available to discuss legal queries, mental health and wellbeing, financial troubles, family issues, bullying and discrimination, or hopes and ambitions.
