After 30 years we have become a highly respected and dependable charity offering various support within the often closed world of the entertainment profession.

PRAY FOR US:
We need your prayers more than ever as those working in the entertainment profession face new and challenging times. We seek to encourage a Christian presence within the profession and offer support to those who have little or no faith. Here is a monthly diary of how you and your church can remember us in prayer.
