Family Bursary Fund

We believe that financial circumstances shouldn’t be a barrier to accessing Auditory Verbal therapy. Auditory Verbal UK doesn't receive Government funding and relies on the generosity of trusts, foundations, and individuals to be able to provide the bursary scheme. The family bursary fund was set up shortly after AVUK was founded to provide access to our programme for low-income families. This has expanded to provide bursary support for over half of the families on our programme which is assessed on household income.

There are currently 60 families on our regular programme and over half of these families receive a bursary.

If you are thinking of fundraising on our behalf or donating directly then you too can provide access to our life changing therapy for families from across the UK who would otherwise be unable to.

The bursary has helped us access Auditory Verbal UK and without it this may not have been possible. Auditory Verbal UK are an essential part of Benjamin’s life. Without them I am not sure where we would be.

The bursary scheme has also enabled Callum to achieve his potential. Read more here.
