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.
