Become a member

Our members support the work of the ABF by putting us in touch with actors and stage managers who need our help, generating income from annual subscriptions, and voting at the AGM.  

You are able to become a member if you are a professional actor or stage manager and are aged 18 and over. To become a member for £20 a year minimum subscription, please apply here.

The Council of the ABF has agreed that for practical and administrative reasons, and to ensure all members can effectively participate in the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM), and where necessary appoint proxies to vote on their behalf, that admission of new members will be suspended from 9th November 2024 until after the AGM on the 19th November 2024.  Applications for membership received in the office after 8th November 2024 will be considered promptly after the AGM. If you wish to participate in the AGM then please do apply and ensure your application is received before the deadline. Thank you for your interest in the Actors’ Benevolent Fund.

I am so grateful – not only does the money help in a very practical way, but I am deeply touched to know that the charity has been there for me. It is certainly a comfort in challenging times.

Times have been difficult for our family recently, as you are well aware, but the personal understanding, generosity of the ABF and friendship have been a wonderful lifeline.

You have treated me with such care and warmth and generosity that I am profoundly moved by it. I am improving daily and soon I hope to be back at work. I will never forget your kindness.
