Our aims are:

• To build relationships and support more carers working in film and TV

• To empower carers to remain in, or return to, work in the industry.

• To raise awareness and encourage carer conversations with employers about supporting their carers in the workplace.

• To help ourselves become more comfortable being carers and rebalance our professional and personal lives.

• Restore a sense of self ‘professionally’ and ‘personally’, while reframing each of our caring roles.

We hope to build a sustainable, supportive peer-to-peer community by listening to the needs of our carers. Being a carer in film and TV can be a very lonely place, but it doesn’t have to be that way any more.

We dream big! We plan to:

• Increase the frequency of the Film and TV Carer’s Club Zoom meet-ups and arrange face to face gatherings.

• Create interactive webinars with a range of guest speakers relevant to carers working in film and TV.

• Provide courses and webinars to improve carer’s resilience and insight into caring for core cared-for sectors.

• Provide courses and workshops to improve the wellbeing of film and TV carers.

• Develop confidence workshops/opportunities for carers returning to work in film and TV.

• Create skills refreshers, upskilling and retraining opportunities within film and TV for carers.

• Provide one to one CV and coaching support, as well as mentoring for carers returning to work.

• Develop our training and consultancy services for employers.

• Develop a member’s job matching service for employers who have flexible working opportunities for carers.

• Create and promote an anonymous ‘ jobs wanted board’ for carers to advertise their skills and expertise alongside their flexible working requirements.
