SERCO Funding

SERCO - one of The Award's Charter Members, is offering "disadvantaged" young people, or groups, financial support to help them with their Award programme.

Bursaries of up to £100 are available to support young people that are enrolled on the programme, but maybe having difficulties in participation because of the cost of equipment/cost of course etc.
