OUR WORK IS POSSIBLE THANKS TO generous support from

Help Musicians

Our major funder, Help Musicians, is an independent UK charity for professional musicians of all genres, from starting out through to retirement.

Equity

Equity is a union of more than 47,000 performers and creative practitioners, united in the fight for fair terms and conditions in the workplace.

Musicians’ Union

The Musicians’ Union represents over 32000 musicians working in all sectors of the music business.

PRS Members Fund

The PRS Members Fund provide support and advice to PRS members and their families, who may be struggling financially, physically or emotionally and are in need of help.

PPL

PPL handles music licensing for over 110,000 performers and recording rightsholders, and helps ensure that those who invest their time, talent and money to make recorded music are fairly paid for their work.

Dance Professionals Fund

The Dance Professionals Fund supports people in the dance world throughout their lives. They are the leading UK charity offering financial assistance for individuals during their dance careers and into retirement, helping professional dancers, dance teachers, choreographers and choreologists.

Equity Charitable Trust

If you’re a professional performer who wants to train for a new career, or who is facing financial difficulties, the Equity Charitable Trust will endeavour to help you out.

The Royal Society of Musicians

Britain’s oldest music charity and its aims remain as relevant today as they were in the earliest years – to provide vital financial assistance, advice and guidance to those professionally active in the world of music but who are unable to work due to accident, illness, stress or anxiety.

Grand Order of Water Rats

The Grand Order of Water Rats’ charitable fund support nationally recognised charities, whilst embracing the benevolence of their members, their families and show business colleagues. It also retains the power to make special awards to worthy individuals or organisations.

Individual Supporters

We are grateful for invaluable help from individuals and groups in the performing arts, in medicine and healthcare, and all who give their support to our service and community. If you can help with a donation, a sponsored event, by contributing expertise, or simply spreading the word, thank you! Find out more about supporting BAPAM:
