You live in the United Kingdom and wish to train as a florist with Kay’s Flower School
Between England, Northern Ireland, Scotland & Wales, there are a few options of funding available. Each Agency has their own criteria, we have explained briefly below, but applications are down to each individual circumstances.
UK & Northern Ireland Funding
Funding is entirely depended on personal circumstances and each individual needs to research and process their funding application with different agencies.
Agencies past students have dealt with in the UK are:
Perennial - Head office: 115-117 Kingston Road, Leatherhead, Surrey, KT22 7SU Tel: 01372 373962 | Email: info@perennial.org.uk | Web: perennial.org.uk
In order for Perennial to provide financial support, a person should either currently be working in horticulture in the UK or previously worked in horticulture within the UK and had to leave because of redundancy, health or caring reasons.
Victims & Survivors Service - Victims & Survivors Services | Troubles & Conflict | Historical Institutional Abuse (victimsservice.org)
Advisor Discretionary Fund - Northern Ireland - Adviser Discretion Fund (ADF) | nidirect
If you are unemployed and facing financial barriers to starting or returning to work or if you’re in employment or self-employment and also face financial difficulties, your local Jobs and Benefits office may be able to help you through the Adviser Discretion Fund (ADF).
The Chartered Institute of Horticulture
A number of other organisations and charities financially support career and personal development in horticulture. The Chartered Institute of Horticulture has compiled information on grants and bursaries available for horticultural projects, exchanges and travel – Chartered Institute of Horticulture – Bursaries and Grants. This is not a complete list but could be a good place to start if you are looking for funding towards your journey of learning.
