Opportunities For All Bursary Scheme

We believe everyone should have the chance to join our fantastic programmes, regardless of their financial situation. Thatโ€™s why we created this bursary to help out. It can cover things like:

  • Programme costs: Think holidays clubs, cool science classes and fun playgroups.
  • Getting the gear: Need new shoes for sports, or clothes for an interview? We can help with that!
  • Covering travel costs: No worries about getting to and from our programmes โ€“ we can help with those costs too.

  • Open the application form:ย Find it hereย or give us a call.
  • Complete it: Tell us a bit about yourself and why you need the bursary.
  • Submit the form: Submit the completed form, or for assistance, emailย bursary@ymcanorthtyneside.org.ย Please submit your application at least two weeks before you need the funding.
  • Provide your evidence: Email any supporting documents toย bursary@ymcanothtyneside.org.
  • Give us a couple of weeks: Weโ€™ll review your application and let you know our decision.
