Help with costs

We want all children and young people to have access to enjoyable music and arts activity.  If you are unable to meet the full costs of our services, there may be help available. This page contains information about our Charging, Remissions and Subsidy Policy plus information about schemes that we operate in Severn Arts, as well as those run by external organisations.

If you know of any other schemes that could reduce costs for young people, please let us know so we can add them to our list.

Contact us if you would like to talk to us about help with costs.
