Become our Supporting Act

BAPAM’s impact makes a real difference. Our clinical experts quickly set people on an effective path to recovery and a healthy and sustainable career. Through education and training, we share vital knowledge to prevent problems. 

More than three quarters of workers in the performing arts will experience an injury or health problem related to their occupation.

Despite the importance of the arts to the UK economy, most of the people we help are gig-economy workers with
precarious incomes, who need to quickly overcome problems and return to work and creative practice. They are highly skilled professionals (and those in training for creative careers) in a sector where work-related health problems are common. Poor mental and physical health is often caused or exacerbated by working conditions.

The people whose hard work our vibrant cultural sector is built on need more support.

Here are some of the ways you can support BAPAM and help improve the health of our creative community and maintain its artistic excellence…
