The Bursary Fund offers subsidised places to people on courses or retreats who are in financial difficulty.
We try to offer at least one bursary place on each retreat.
We typically offer a 50% reduction.
Please contact [email protected] at least 4 weeks in advance if you wish to apply.
We are particuarly keen to enable young people to benefit from coming to Sharpham and we run dedicated Young People's retreats at The Barn and the Coach House with extra bursaries.
Thanks to the generosity of the Hollick Family Foundation we are able to offer up to two 75% bursaries for 18-25 years olds experiencing financial hardship on this retreat. To find out more and apply please contact [email protected]
I wanted to pass on my thanks to you and those that advocate for the bursary programme. Attending the retreat has been a life raft for me.
Prior to coming to Sharpham, I was at breaking point and starting to feel as though I was going under. Leaving Sharpham yesterday I felt as though I was being resuscitated and I was coming back to life.
I have left having a path to move forward on and tools I can use in my everyday life. Please pass on my thanks to those that created this bursary fund...as they have saved a life by allowing me to take part in this
