Welcome to Equity Trust Fund

About Us

The Equity Trust Fund was founded in 1989 to help present and past members of Equity as well as other adult professional performers and their dependants. We can provide welfare grants to those who are unable to work because of poor health, an accident or due to old age. We also have a trained welfare rights advisor and a qualified debt advisor to provide assistance. We are also able to provide education grants to those who have decided to retrain.

John Fernald Award

This charity was set up in 1988 from the estate of the late John Fernald to assist new assistant theatre directors with limited experience to gain additional experience in a professional theatre.
