Well-known lighting designer Rick Fisher, who instigated Light Relief Day in 2007 in honour of the late Tony Gottelier, co-founder of Light Relief, said: "The link with Behind The Scenes has given the day a much higher profile and as a result we have a record number of designers joining in the fund raising. Anyone who has links with the industry is welcome to join us, including rental companies and other suppliers."
Now, more than ever, there are people in our industry who have the added burden of serious injury or illness and who turn to Light Relief or Behind The Scenes for support. To find out how you can help by donating your royalties for 24 April (even if you join our gang after the day!), and to read about the original idea from Rick, Ken and Ken, visit the web addresses provided below:
