Clubs affiliated to the Berks & South Bucks County can obtain financial assistance towards training of their members towards qualifications, eg Teaching or Coaching.

Typically they should first approach the South East Region initially, but the County does provide top-up resources in respect of extra applications above the SER quantity.

Funding is available for approved courses - eg those offered by the Institute of Swimming (IoS) or Survive and Save.

Approval must be sought before the course is undertaken; Funding is either in the form of a discount code (for booking IoS courses on-line), or by payment on presentation of the course completion certificate (for the SaS courses).

You can find the forms for applying for these Bursaries here.

To discuss bursaries further, you can contact the Assistant Secretary, who administers the scheme.
