Our goal is simple yet powerful:
Reduce the alarmingly high rates of suicide, anxiety and depression in the entertainment industry by providing free evidence-based education programs.
Buckets of Love
Our national fundraising initiative dedicated to supporting the mental health and wellbeing for people working in the entertainment industry. This year, during Mental Health Awareness Month, theatres across the country will come together for a single weekend 9th Oct-12th Oct to host bucket collections in their venues.
Why It Matters
The entertainment industry thrives on the creativity and passion of its people, but it also presents unique challenges that can impact mental health. From the pressures of performance to the instability many face, the industry sees alarmingly higher rates of anxiety and depression. Buckets of Love was created to address these issues directly, providing vital support where needed most.
how to Get Involved
Whether you’re a theatre looking to host a collection, an industry professional, or a member of the public who wants to contribute, there are several ways you can get involved:
Host your own event for Buckets of Love
Throughout October for mental health month you can host you very own social event , big or small and help raise funds to support mental health in the Australian entertainment industry.
It’s simple: gather your friends, family, or colleagues for a social gathering and raise funds to support free mental health education programs for people in the Australian entertainment industry. Gather for a picnic in a park, garden, beach, or backyard. Enjoy pre-dinner drinks at a home, local bar, or rooftop, or gather for high tea or morning tea at work, café, hotel lounge, or community centre. No matter the setting, your event will bring people together to support mental health in the Australian entertainment industry.
