Huge thanks to Campbell Mitchell, chargehand standby prop, for once again organising an auction on his current production, the second season of Happy Tramp’s ‘Only Child’ for the BBC to raise funds for the Foundation.
He captured a photo of crew sheltering under umbrellas, had it printed on archival paper, professionally framed and then auctioned it to the crew.
The winning bid was topped by Executive Producer Neil Webster, raising an initial £1,100 for the Foundation. He then generously raffled the print to the other bidders, which meant the print went to Script Supervisor Ula Kocol.
And to top it off, the Director, John Addis, purchased a secondary print with the proceeds also donated to us! This meant a total of £1,600 was raised for the Foundation. 🙏🙏🙏
Donations like these directly support the Foundation’s mission and without them, we simply couldn’t continue the work we do!

Tip #2: GET THE RIGHT REST AND TURNAROUND
Making sure you get the right rest and turnaround is essential to your well being and safety.
Breaking turnaround can happen occasionally, but when it happens consistently this can have a huge impact on your ability to work safely, and driving home when exhausted can have devastating consequences.
There are clear rules around rest and turnaround, and it’s essential to know what these are. You can find them by clicking on the link in our bio.
