East Midlands Branch

Lilac text against a purple backdrop reads "Equity - East Midlands"

Welcome to the East Midlands branch

The branch usually meets on the second Wednesday of the month, the notice of the meeting sent out in advance gives details. Our venue currently is Curve in Leicester but we have regular appraisals about other venues throughout the region - and there is always a Zoom link! Contact the branch for further details.

The East Midlands branch provides local representation and support for members. It is a regular meeting place to access branch officers and regional representatives who can assist members with issues such as contracts, health and safety, and employment rights. The branch also provides opportunities for members to network and engage with their peers, enabling them to share knowledge, opportunities and experiences, as well as stay informed about industry developments.

Come and meet your union in Northampton for the May branch meeting, find out about the national conference and build a network.

This month our meeting ties in with the latest episode of Writing Doesn’t Have to Be Lonely (WDHTBL).

WDHTBL was established in 2018 by Dan McGarry with the aim of allowing writers to hear their work at an early stage. Their monthly meetings have helped dozens of writers with hundreds of scripts and established a network of writers, actors and creatives within this part of the East Midlands.
