Bursary support

Financial support

As a charity, we want to make all our Healthcare Services available to those in need without charging for them.

While we strive to make that dream a reality, our most important mission is to keep our charges low, extending our reach to as many people in need of our support as we possibly can.

If you're presently on an income-assessed state benefit like Universal Credit, you could qualify for our bursary support, and we will also consider exceptional cases where there is no state support to consider but finances are tight.

Typically, we are able to offer a reduction of 25% on our fees, and in certain situations we may increase that to a 50% discount.

We’ve made applying as straightforward as possible, for any of our services:

All you need to do is include Section D when you complete and submit your Healthcare Services Self-Referral form.

If your application is approved, you'll receive an email verifying your bursary award. It will remain valid for 12 months starting from the date stated in the confirmation email.

Please remember, if you have any unused sessions at the end of this period, unfortunately they can't be carried forward.

After your bursary award comes to an end, a further award may be available following a review with the clinical team member providing your support.

Rest assured, we're with you on this journey, ready to provide the support and care you need.
