Be part of a movement making entertainment a better place to work.
When you become an Equity member, you join 47,000 creatives in the fight for better pay and conditions.
We'll always be there - with support, advice and representation - when you need us. We can help you take action on individual and collective issues at work, from discrimination to holiday pay problems. And we provide legal representation if you need to take things further too. Plus you'll have access to our excellent member benefits including Public Liability Insurance and industry discounts.
"Being a performer can sometimes be a lonely profession. But by being in Equity I know that I am part of a network, a community, a movement."
