At F4YP we would like everyone to be able to access our support service.

75% of places offered across our service are funded, with 25% being subsidised.

The list below covers situations which qualify a young person for a bursary place. The list is not exhaustive, and we assess our bursary places on an individual basis. For funding purposes, we will require evidence to show the young person meets the bursary criteria. This will be requested after booking a place on a course and must be updated yearly depending on the type of evidence provided.

If your child does not qualify but you feel your situation warrants a bursary place, please discuss this with a member of the team

Referral Process

Every young person is welcome to access our service, and anyone can refer them whether you are a SCHOOL, AGENCY or PARENT/CARER.

PARENT/CARER REFERRAL

If you have a young person you think would benefit from accessing F4YP, you can book them onto our waiting list/ late sign up via our Eventbrite page. If required, we will arrange a school visit to meet your young person and see which activities best suit them.

Alternatively, if you already know which courses they would like to attend, you can book them directly onto those courses on our Eventbrite page.

SCHOOL/AGENCY REFERRAL

Schools and Agencies can refer a young person directly to our service. To find out more CLICK HERE
