Our Registration Process
Are you registering from a school or agency professional?
1
Initial Registration
To begin the registration process, we’ll need some information about your young person. You can
register directly for an available activity on the What's On page.
2
Creating a support plan
Once we receive your details, we’ll create a tailored support plan for your young person. This will include gathering information about their interests, dislikes, support needs, and any relevant background. Understanding this helps us make sure F4YP is the right setting for them, suggest clubs they might enjoy, and provide a positive, inclusive experience when they attend.
3
Booking A School Visit
The next step is a visit with your young person at school. At F4YP, we have strong connections with schools across Bedfordshire, so we’re happy to coordinate directly with them.
This visit helps us finalise the support plan by hearing directly from your young person about how we can best meet their needs. It’s also a great opportunity for us to introduce ourselves and help reduce any anxiety before they join our activities.

Bursary or Payment?
Across our service, 75% of the places we offer are fully funded, with the remaining 25% available at a subsidised rate. Depending on the type of place you're applying for and the information you provide, we may request bursary evidence and/or payment to confirm. See Bursary Criteria below.
5
Confirmation - Ready to go!
Once we have completed the school visit, received bursary evidence and/or payment, we will confirm your young persons space either over phone or by email. Check out Our Service to see how we will be supporting your young person and family.

Tickets Explained

AGE: A ticket may also be specific to an age group. If a ticket title includes “School Year” it is for the school years specified only.

If the ticket you require is unavailable, please contact the team.
75% of places offered across our service are funded, with 25% being subsidised. With thanks to our partners, donors and FUN-Raisers!
36% of our young people have SEND/SEMH needs, have 1:1 at school, have an EHCP or have ESOL
SEND support
Due to the nature of our funding, we do not offer 1:1 support or supervision.
However, many young people who receive 1:1 support in school (particularly for academic reasons) are still able to take part in our programmes within small group settings.
We work closely with schools to carry out individual assessments and determine whether our environment is a suitable and supportive fit for your young person.
School & Agency Referral
As a school or agency you can refer on behalf of a parent or guardian.
Once this referral is made we will then be in contact with the parent or guardian directly and start our registration process above.

You must have parent/guardian consent to complete our form to comply with GDPR
