Apply for a free or reduced fee space on our classes
Our New Brewery Hearts bursaries are available for those who believe they would greatly benefit from having access to craft and creativity in their lives but are prevented from doing so due to personal circumstances.
“Joining the course at New Brewery Arts was a turning point for me. I live a very isolated life in a quiet village with my parents. I am neuro diverse and suffer with dark depression . Life was empty and I had no hobbies or routine. I would lie in bed all day long and have no purpose to get up.
I was able to get a bursary which was amazing, as being on benefits means I don’t have a lot of money to spend on myself. I look forward to my weekly sessions. I have made a friend.”
What is the Bursary for?
These bursary places are for those who might face barriers to access the arts. There are various reasons why you might feel that taking part in our classes would improve your health and wellbeing. You may need mental health or wellbeing support; you may be socially isolated; chronic illness; having financial constraints; the need to develop an income or skill. Please tell us about your individual circumstances and how you think you would benefit from joining us, we are all ears.
