Hello! My name is TJ.

I am an 18 year old aspiring actor. I have just finished a scholarship place at Wycliffe college and am now looking to further my skills in acting as well as entering the world of film and theatre. I have just gained a place at the Fourth Monkey Drama Academy in Arsenal, though for the full 12 month course it's £6200 pounds over three instalments, I am planning on working as much as possible, but working alone I know will not be enough.

though the cost of living is subsequently more than the school fee I am only asking for help towards the £6200 fee. The cost of living is something I could possibly scrape myself by working most days alongside the 5pm-10pm school day that Forth Monkey run. The current minimum wage for 18+ is £5.90/h and working most days (most likely 5-6 hours a day) would result in £590 a month, which is still very little, especially when the rent for a room in a shared house is £550 Though as I will be getting a job, this struggle might be lightened.

I have made a promise that whoever funds me, be it one person or twenty, will be kept updated to show how their sponsorship is being used to help my progress as a professional actor. Alongside this, sponsors will get the opportunity to receive discounted tickets to all and every performance that I am a part of as a symbol of my thanks and to show my development as an actor.

Thank you!
