COST
Running CIFW comes at a pretty big cost, we subsidise this heavily from a range of funders but we need a bit of help from those taking part.
We are asking for a contribution of £2.50 per session, or £30 a term.
Frân Wen Young Company is open to everyone, and we don’t want the cost to get in anybody’s way. So please get in touch if you would like to discuss our bursary programme.
WHERE
The sessions will happen in Nyth, our new home in Bangor.
HOW?
The 2023/24 recruitment window closes on Friday 29 September 2023.
