Bursary application

We believe every young person should have the chance to join CYE, and our bursary fund can help make that happen.

Supporting access for every young person

Our bursary scheme is designed to support young people under 25 years, who might need a little extra help with fees, so that more people can experience the adventure, community, and growth that comes with life at CYE. Applications are considered carefully, and bursaries of up to 40% of the cost of an event are offered according to need. We hope to help as many people as possible take part in the life that's found here.

removing barriers; releasing potential

Over the years we’ve received many messages of thanks from families who’ve been supported by the bursary. Here are just a few we’d love to share:

The CYE bursary meant my son could join in with an activity holiday that supported his mental health. Water is so calming and good for the soul ! He loved the sailing at CYE and came home buzzing with stories . Thanks so much.

My daughter and myself are extremely grateful for the financial help towards her trip in April. Without this she would not have been able to attend. She had a fantastic time and created some lasting memories.
Thank you again

I'm writing to express my heartfelt thanks for the bursary granted to my children, enabling them to participate inthe CYE Ignite camp this summer.
We serve in the Middle East, and this camp allowed them to reconnect with the English culture and language and make new friends and have experiences that have made a lasting impact on their journey of faith. The team was very attentive to their extra needs, whether because of the language challenges or neurodiversity, and they were very much looked after and felt really included.
Thank you so much for your generosity to our family.

I was able to apply and beapproved for a bursary for both my grandchildren for camp this year. It was so good to be able to send them, they both loved it! We wouldn’t havebeen able to afford it without the assistance of the bursary.
They both came back buzzing about the new friends, the activities and massively benefitted from the biblical input and bible studies. They both want to go back next year, along with volunteering or joining the team when they are old enough. It is so great to see this generation enjoying CYE as much as my Grandad did in the early days!
