Film and TV industry charity 6ft From the Spotlight have been awarded The Production Guild of Great Britain's inaugural Earl of Wessex Award, in recognition of its work to improve mental health and wellbeing in the UK film and television production workplace.
The award was presented in person by His Royal Highness The Earl of Wessex, the Guild’s Royal Patron, in a ceremony that closed the PGGB’s first ever Talent Showcase in Central London.
Presenting the award, HRH The Earl of Wessex said: "Many congratulations to 6ft From The Spotlight for becoming the first winners of this Award. I really do hope that recognising them in this way not only highlights the pioneering work being done in the production industry to make workplaces more inclusive, but also inspires others to adopt similar practices."
Lyndsay Duthie, PGGB CEO says: "We applaud 6ft From the Spotlight for taking proactive steps to improve mental health and wellbeing in the film and high-end TV workplace. They have worked tirelessly to develop the Wellbeing Facilitator model which has benefited countless crew and can be easily adopted by others. Congratulations to all of the Earl of Wessex Award nominees whose work has been showcased, and thank you to Disney Content Studios, the headline sponsor of tonight’s Talent Showcase which, through social investments and collaborations like these, continues to increase access to careers in entertainment for underrepresented groups."
