Funding
Some past participants have received funding from their regional arts council or lottery schemes.
There are also several independent trusts that will fund this kind of activity.

It depends very much on your reasons for attending the course, your professional status and/or if you intend to use your gained knowledge for the benefit of your community when you return.

It may well be worth investigating this avenue further and we will be happy to assist if you need anything in writing from us to support your application.
However you should not presume you will be eligible for funding.
