Brinsworth House

Brinsworth House

Brinsworth House is a retirement home especially for members of the acting and entertainment professions, in Twickenham, Greater London, England. The house, opened in 1911, is provided and maintained by the Entertainment Artistes Benevolent Fund, founded in 1908 to care for members of what was at that time the variety and music hall profession. The EABF and the house are funded largely by the Royal Variety Performance and, since 2007, part-proceeds from phone voting from ITV's Britain's Got Talent.
