Conscious aim to direct our services towards the most vulnerable members of society
The bursary fund helps young people who cannot fully afford our services. The bursary is also used to help groups that require additional support, due to their particular needs.
The Bursary Fund only helps those groups that are undertaking personal and social development activities with us. Here are some examples of work that is supported by the Bursary Fund.
Youth Inclusion
We work in partnership with a number of Youth Projects to tackle issues such as community cohesion, youth crime and anti-social behaviour.
This work is challenging and we need the group sizes to be small in order to maximize our impact.
Long Term Projects
Our long term projects support young people who are at risk of exclusion from school, have challenging behaviour or are underachievers. These innovative projects, which support work going on in schools, have had some remarkable results.
Social Disadvantage
We strongly feel that all young people regardless of race, creed or social circumstance should have the opportunity to achieve their best in life. Young people from areas of social disadvantage are amongst those most in need of our programmes of personal development and outdoor education.
Young people with disabilities or special needs
By providing additional instruction and support we are able to make sure that each young person is challenged in a supportive environment, with activities specifically adapted to suit their needs.
