Campaign by Story
BAPAM is the medical charity for the performing arts.
Our free services support people at all stages of a performing arts career. We bring qualified, registered health experts together with performers, artists and industry professionals to build sustainable, healthy creative careers.
We need your help
75% of those working in the performing arts will experience career-impacting mental or physical health problems.
The need for specialist health support in the performing arts is greater than ever. Our unique medically led charity now delivers expert clinical services to over 3000 people each year, and trains thousands more in healthy practice to prevent problems. Our work as a clinical partner with a range of industry organisations is leading a positive change towards a healthy and sustainable sector that supports and protects those whose talent it is built on.
Dame Evelyn Glennie CH OBE, Grammy award-winning percussionist and BAPAM Patron:
It’s absolutely crucial for performers to be able to protect and maintain our health; a simple injury or an undiagnosed condition can put a hard stop on our careers, reshape our futures and threaten our livelihoods. That’s why a service like BAPAM is a real lifeline for performers; it allows us to benefit from free consultation with experienced and qualified practitioners, ensuring we get the help we need to safeguard our careers into the future. It’s a privilege to be a Patron and to champion and promote the vital work it delivers and the people who make it possible.
