The Royal Theatrical Fund

The Royal Theatrical Fund is a UK nonprofit organization dedicated to providing financial and other forms of assistance to individuals within the entertainment industry, including their dependents, who are unable to pursue their career due to illness, adversity, or other unforeseen circumstances.

History

Founded in 1839 by a group of actors led by Charles Dickens, the Fund was originally established as the General Theatrical Fund Association. It was initially aimed at addressing the hardships faced by many in the acting profession. The organization was incorporated under two Royal Charters: the first granted in 1853 during the reign of Queen Victoria, and the second in 1974 by Queen Elizabeth II. This support from the Royal Family has been instrumental in its mission, and the organization is now under the patronage of King Charles III.

Mission and Activities

The Royal Theatrical Fund focuses on providing financial assistance without restrictive conditions to those in need within or retired from the entertainment industry. This includes individuals from various sectors such as ballet, opera, radio, and television. The organization awards grants to assist with medical expenses or to support those unable to work due to circumstances beyond their control. It is part of Acting for Others (The Combined Theatrical Charities Appeals Council) and has assisted thousands of individuals and families over the years.

Leadership and Governance

The organization is led by Chairwoman Samantha Bond, with Sharon Lomas MBE serving as the Chief Executive Officer and Joel Marvin as the Deputy Chief Executive Officer. Sue Basten is the Welfare Advisor, ensuring that support is directed effectively towards those needing it.

Recognition and Compliance

The Royal Theatrical Fund is classified as a small charity and is committed to good fundraising practices. It adheres to the Code of Fundraising Practice and the Fundraising Promise, demonstrating its dedication to ethical philanthropy.

Archives and Legacy

The University of Bristol holds an extensive archive of the Royal Theatrical Fund's records, dating back to its formation in 1839. These archives also include records from the Covent Garden Theatrical Fund. However, more recent records are inaccessible due to GDPR restrictions. The rich history of the organization is reflected in its contributions to the theatrical community over nearly two centuries.
