Meet the team

Be Extra is made up of an advisory panel of experts in the arts industry, as well as the board and operational team.


Our dedicated Be Extra team are all artists and creatives in their own right, who recognise the need for greater and more accessible forms of support for individuals working in the sector. 

We work on a charitable basis to ensure that all of the bright stars in the industry feel that they are receiving the support that they need to take care of their mental health and continue to craft to the best of their ability.
