Jo is Chair of SafetyCurtain, a charity that assists performers in peril outside of the UK in more than 20 countries around the world. Many of the creative practitioners helped with small grants, live in countries that are scarred by extreme poverty, hardship and/or devastating ongoing conflict. Founded in 1999, and formerly called the International Performers’ Aid Trust, the charity was the brainchild of Hugh Manning, Equity president and former chair of the International Committee for Artists’ Freedom (ICAF).
Sir Richard Attenborough was the first supporter, by giving a generous donation, and later the charity was driven energetically and with great panache by president Alan Rickman and others. Celia Imrie and Bill Paterson are the current Co-Presidents.
