One of our team will contact you within 48 hours during the working week to see how we can help. Any agreed funding will be given to you in the form of a code you can use online towards the event you’d like to attend.
All communication with us will be treated in the strictest of confidence. We are here to listen.
Our bursary places are limited per event. We don’t receive any government funding. We regret we cannot assist every applicant and aim to reach those in the greatest need.
We do our best to respond to you within 48 hours of your application during the working week. A little longer if you apply at the weekend. But do email us if you have concerns in the meantime, we are here to help.
So that we can support as many people as possible we can only offer on bursary per person per year.
