Small Bursary Opportunity

What is the small bursary opportunity?

The bursary is a chance for organisations to receive a one-off payment (following completion of the workshop) to support the implementation of trauma-informed approaches within their workplace.

The only requirement for receiving the funding is the agreement to complete a simple case-study, which details how you have used the funding to support your workplace in being trauma-informed. There are a limited number of bursaries available.

How do I sign up? 

When you sign up to the workshop using Eventbrite, as part of the booking process you will be asked to register your interest in the bursary also. If you say yes, you will be contacted with further details following completion of your workshop.
