RedRock Entertainment is a new South West England-based theatre company founded by Chris Matanlé this year with a view to trying to bring the world of amateur and professional theatre together. Upcoming productions include the charity concert Bring on Tomorrow starring Kieran Brown, Joseph Connor, Samantha Ivey, Ashleigh Jones and Reece Kerridge, and the pantomime Dick Whittington. Both productions feature a crossover of amateur and professional performers, musicians and creatives.

Acting for Others provides financial and emotional support to all theatre workers in times of need through the 14 member charities. In the 1960s, Laurence Olivier, together with Noël Coward and Richard Attenborough, had the idea of promoting a single annual fund-raising event for all theatrical charities.

The Combined Theatrical Charities Appeals Council was formed to further the work of the member charities and attract donations and legacies for their benefit, in addition to centralising appeals for funds which can in turn be applied where most needed by the member charities.
