Presenting the first £2,500 cheque to trustee Matthew Griffiths at the ETC / ABTT Christmas party on 14 December, Fred Foster, CEO of ETC, said: "Our industry would not exist without its many freelance lighting designers and technicians. Light Relief has already provided much needed practical and financial help to many of our colleagues and I am delighted that ETC can enable it to continue this fine programme."
Griffiths, who is also managing director of PLASA, said: "Light Relief assists freelancers in our industry who need immediate assistance in times of crisis. One-off donations are always welcome of course, but this kind of ongoing support is not only very generous of ETC but demonstrates that key players in the industry are behind us 100%."
