The Northern Housing Consortium (NHC) has launched Unlocking Success, its tenant bursary scheme.

The NHC’s Unlocking Success Bursary Scheme offers £500 cash bursaries to support the cost of learning. The bursaries can be used to cover costs including course fees, travel, equipment, childcare and even living expenses.

Unlocking Success launched in 2019 and has supported over 130 people living in social housing with over £53,000 of funding to help them realise their ambitions by accessing education or training.

Northern Housing Consortium Chief Executive Tracy Harrison said:

“At a time when living costs are soaring and incomes are being squeezed, an award of £500 could make a huge difference. We know that costs for things like equipment, travel or even childcare can be a barrier which prevent people on low incomes accessing training. Our bursary scheme helps ease that burden and has already supported over 130 people.

“The awards can make a real difference to people’s lives.”

Let’s help make sure the support reaches those who need it most!
