Unlocking Success Bursary – applications open! 

We’re delighted to announce that applications for the NHC’s Unlocking Success Bursary 2026 are now open. 

Unlocking Success helps people living in social housing to realise their ambitions, by supporting them to access education and training, or to run or launch their own business. We offer £500 cash bursaries to cover costs including course fees, travel, equipment, childcare and even living expenses.

The Bursary is a key part of our shared commitment to creating opportunity, supporting inclusion, and delivering meaningful social impact for tenants across the North. But we need your help to spread the word and encourage tenant applications for 2026. 

The success of the programme relies on the support of members, and particularly colleagues working directly with tenants. 

The Unlocking Success Bursary Lunch will take place on Friday 4th December at Ramside Hall. This is our flagship fundraising event and a celebration of tenant achievement. We’ll be sharing more details on this soon, but do get in touch with lynda.redshaw@northern-consortium.org.uk to book your table. 

Thank you in advance for your support in helping unlock opportunities for tenants across the North.
