Funding

The cost of this Bootcamp is £1,600 per movement. However, we operate a pay-as-you-feel (PAYF) model in order to ensure that our services are as accessible as possible to all movements and particularly movements based in low income countries. Get in touch if your movement is not able to cover the cost and we can discuss support and funding options.
