There is currently a national shortage of tradespeople with the appropriate skills to work on traditional solid walled properties. We want to encourage tradespeople and construction professionals to learn new skills so that this skills shortage can be reduced. We understand that the time and cost to attend training can often put trades off, so we offer subsidised training places to those people currently working in construction.

Homeowners Bursary Programme 

Renovating a property can be an expensive process and it is often difficult to produce realistic budgets at the start of a project. For some this can mean that compromises on finish and material choice have to be made. We don't want homeowners to compromise on whether to use lime or not so are launching a small bursary programme to help those in most need of support. We want to empower homeowners to take on projects themselves and ultimately help them get over the finish line. 

 

If successful, you will receive a 25% discount on one of the courses listed below:

 

Lime Plastering Part 1:

  • September 23rd – 24th

  • October 21st – 22nd

  • November 3rd – 4th

 

All applications need to be by the 1st July. Successful applicants will be notified by the 14th July.

​

​Can I apply for more than one bursary?

Only one person from a household can be awarded a bursary.

​

Am I guaranteed to get a bursary if I meet the criteria?

Our bursary pot is limited so we cannot guarantee everyone will be successful. Each application will be assessed so we encourage you to include as much detail as possible in  your application form. Tell us why you would like to attend a course and how you will use your new skill.
