The Film and TV Charity

The Charity was founded by the industry in 1924 to help those working in Film, cinema and TV, and their families in times of need. Over 94 years, our events, donations from corporate supporters and individuals, and legacies have enabled us to support thousands of people. Alex Pumfrey was appointed CEO of The Film & Television Charity, formerly the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund in October 2017. HM The Queen is the Patron of the Charity.
