Financial Help

Woodbrooke is keen to help all those who wish to attend our courses but are prevented for financial reasons. At present we are unable to process bursary applications on-line so please apply in the normal way and contact us requesting further details.

There are several sources of help:

New Members of the Religious Society of Friends are entitled to a 50% reduction on one Woodbrooke 2 day course. We hope that this will enable you to increase your knowledge of Friends. New Members whose membership has been confirmed in the last 12 months are entitled to claim this discount and should indicate this by enclosing a note with their application form.

Woodbrooke's Bursary Scheme provides financial help to anyone, Quaker or non-Quaker, who needs it to cover course fees at Woodbrooke. Please indicate on your booking form or contact the adminstration team at Woodbrooke. Enquiries are treated confidentially.

Local Quaker meetings have varying levels of funds but many meetings do support Friends who wish to attend courses at Woodbrooke. Please ask an elder or overseer at your meeting.

The Hope Fund, administered by Quaker Peace and Social Witness (QPSW) at Friends House, may be able to offer some help to eligible unemployed British Friends. Please call 0207 663 1000.

Disabled people or those with caring responsibilities who might be prevented from attending will be given a free residential place for a carer or child carer. Please contact the administration team at Woodbrooke.

European Friends can apply for financial help from the Corder and Gwen Catchpool Fund. Funds are available for individuals and groups. Find out more information on individual bursaries. Please contact the administration team at Woodbrooke for help for groups.
