Everything you need to know about our free new service to ensure you get the wellbeing, financial and legal support you need.

We at Spotlight are always doing our best to ensure you get the support and benefits you need, whether that be the latest industry news and advice, discounts, or a free year of membership through our bursary scheme if you’re facing financial hardship. A lot of these ideas come from listening to our members’ feedback, so when we saw the overwhelming desire for additional wellbeing and mental health support – like BAPAM and other performer support services currently offer – to be made available for all, we took this on board.

We listened, and now we’re thrilled to deliver the results. Today, we’re launching our new Member Assistance Programme, bringing a range of wellbeing and support benefits to all members aged 18+ who are residents of the UK and Ireland. This service will be provided by Health Assured, and is completely free to use.
