Learning and Development Request for Support Form – Students

Who we help

We help people working in any area of the UK horticulture industry. You can request support if
- You are a full or part time student in horticulture or
- You are on a horticulture traineeship or apprenticeship
and
- The course is for at least 1 year at a recognised provider
- You have already started your course and you are experiencing an unforeseen or life-changing event
If one of the above applies, you must:
- be able to tell us the difference funds would make
- be living in the UK and are eligible to work/study and apply for public funds
(evidence will need to be attached to the request for support form)

Sadly, we can’t offer financial help towards living costs whilst studying.
Confirm eligibility
I confirm that I have read the above eligibility requirements and believe I qualify for help

Our funds are limited, so we may not be able to provide help for all the requests we receive for support. The questions in this support form are intended to give us an accurate picture of your present circumstances, so it's very important that you answer them all, this helps us to fully assess the support that we can offer. * denotes this field is mandatory
