As a not-for-profit organisation, we are able to keep the costs of running and attending our workshops to a minimum. However, we are passionate about the importance of our work and believe it should be open to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances.

​

BURSARY CORE VALUES

 

As a community, we adhere to a set of values. These values are based on taking responsibility for ourselves and for helping others.

 

The CIP Project is a non-profit organisation. Our aim is to offer affordable high quality support for all who need it, regardless of their personal circumstances. We commit to keeping the workshop costs reasonable for those in employment with disposable income. We also commit to giving at least 25 percent of the spaces in a workshop to those who can’t afford the full price through our bursary scheme.

 

Unfortunately the scheme can, and has, been abused.

Not because people are bad, but because if it’s cheaper why not? Here is why not.

 

1. The CIP Project relies on trading income, including workshop sales, to survive. If workshops do not bring in enough income to cover costs, then the CIP Project will cease to trade. Then everyone loses. This is an ever present risk, and we have nearly had to close our doors several times over the last few years.
    

2. If you take much needed funds when you could really afford it, but just don't want to miss out on a deal, someone who truly can’t afford it, and really needs it, will miss out.

 

So if you can afford full price please don’t apply for a bursary place, either fully or part funded.

If you can’t afford it, please DO apply, and we will help you, thanks to those who pay full price and other donations.
