BURSARY FUNDS
We’ve always had one thing in mind – to deliver the best classes to help all those who need it. But we understand that sometimes the ones who need it often struggle to afford it.
The value we provide through our classes is immeasurable. We’ve changed lives with our classes, such as kids finding a new social life when home life becomes tough. There are many single parents who struggle to afford the sessions but understand a child’s need for belonging to a club and learning discipline, respect and confidence.
Our vision is to offer a discounted membership to members who struggle to afford classes but need it the most.
What this is
We offer a discounted membership for select individuals to train in our classes. The discounted membership lasts for 6 months so we are able to rotate and offer the scheme to other members too. The funding is given to people based on an impartial group of parents who vote based on applications. The number of spaces that are offered is based on the funds that we collect and can vary.
Upcoming Round: 11th October 2019. Applications before 1st October 2019
Next Round: 11th April 2020. Applications before 1st April 2020
How it works
You can submit an application for yourself or for someone else who you know could benefit from the scheme.
Funding will be available to those already training and to new members. Internal criteria is created to help those:
- Shy and unconfident
- Confident but unfocused
- Talented in martial arts
Externally our criteria will look specifically at:
- Extraordinary home situations
- Income in households below £20,000 per year
- Single parent families
- Specific and formally recognised needs
- Referrals from establishments such as schools and foster associations
