Financial Support

Literature is deeply rooted in the notion of freedom of expression. However, true freedom requires equality of opportunity and fair representation. Therefore, Literature Wales aims to enable everybody who would benefit from a course at Tŷ Newydd to do so, regardless of income or level of experience. Working with writers on low income has been identified as one of Literature Wales’ priorities, along with people of colour, and individuals with disabilities or illnesses (both mental and physical). Our aim is to create equal and fair access to artistic innovation and professional development.

Literature Wales is a charity, and all income raised through Tŷ Newydd courses goes back into keeping the centre and its activities running, and towards other literary projects across Wales.

 

Nant Writers’ Retreat

A retreat at our cottage, Nant, on site of Tŷ Newydd Writing Centre allows writers the time, space and peaceful atmosphere to work on their writing without the interference of their day to day life. We recognise that our retreats are not affordable to all, and that travel to Tŷ Newydd might pose additional financial barriers to attending. Therefore, if you cannot afford a retreat at Nant, please email us to ask for an application form which might grant you a bursary for a free, or a reduced price, retreat. This opportunity is only available for Wales-based writers. Please note that we are likely to receive a large volume of applications, and that regretfully we cannot promise that all applications will be successful.

 

Residential Courses

We have bursaries available for individuals who might need financial help; however, funds are limited. Therefore, before applying for a bursary to attend a residential course, please consider:

    • Choosing a cheaper room – we have different priced rooms available, all of which are comfortable and warm
    • Paying for your course fee in instalments, except for the £100 non-refundable deposit required on booking

You can apply for an instalment payment plan whilst booking, however we do ask that 75% of the fee is paid before you arrive at Tŷ Newydd. Please ensure you have enough time to do so before applying, an illustration of the monthly payments for a shared room on a typical week long course (less £100 deposit paid upfront) is shown below:

If the course fee still makes it difficult for you to attend, then you may be eligible to apply for a bursary of between £50 – £200. To do so, please email us to ask for a simple application pack. Please note that you will need to request financial assistance before booking a course. Bursary requests cannot be considered after a booking has been made. Please note that we cannot always guarantee financial assistance due to the high volume of applications made annually.

 

How Bursaries are funded

Fundraising for bursaries is ongoing through various events and activities. Generous donations and contributions from visitors and friends are gratefully received throughout the year. If you would like to donate to the bursary fund, please contact Literature Wales:
