Sir Sir Mark Rylance has lead contributions to UK entertainment union Equity's Benevolent Fund, helping its members who're out of work as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and might not have savings to fall back on.

The Dunkirk star said 'There is no net to catch our freelance members, none, other than a very slow and complicated social system. This is a time for us to stand together as a Union. This is what the Union is for... Those that can help, let us contribute as much as we can to the Union'.
