In this episode, host Sarah James talks with Rick Fisher, Lighting Designer and Backup Trustee, and Nikki Scott, who leads Pastoral Care for Backup.

Rick and Nikki share what really happens when someone reaches out for support, how the application process works, and why no one should ever feel worried about asking for help.

Key moments include:

• How Backup began and why it exists
• Planning for financial security and why Backup is still there if things go wrong
• What happens if you can’t reach out yourself and how the industry supports its own
• Tailoring help to the individual and what to expect from the process
• Long-term support and helping someone else
• Why Backup’s support is always non-judgemental and easy to access

Whether you work on stage, backstage, or behind the scenes, this conversation is for anyone who wants to understand how Backup is here to help our industry family.
