Animation UK

Animation UK is the trade body for the British animation sector and sits within the UK Screen Alliance. It gives animation companies a shared voice, raising issues and lobbying government, broadcasters and other industry bodies on matters that single firms cannot tackle alone.

What Animation UK offers

• Lobbying and advocacy — pressing government and broadcasters on policy that affects animation businesses.
• Campaigns — work on keeping tax incentives competitive, closing the skills gap and raising investment in UK-originated content.
• Policy submissions — evidence to government inquiries, such as one on children's TV and video content.
• Industry news — updates on member productions, sales and events, plus a newsletter.
• Membership — a route for animation companies to join and take part in its work.

Who it works with

Members are UK animation studios and production companies. Its campaigns have also covered a BAFTA TV animation category, renewed EU partnerships and co-production funding, and private investment in content.
