The UPCA Welfare Fund is available to:
- Students and Trainees experiencing financial hardship who are currently enrolled on a UPCA approved course.
- UPCA Clinical members experiencing financial hardship.
If you are unwaged or experiencing financial hardship, please download a UPCA Welfare Fund form and return it to us completed at: administration@upca.org.uk with details of your circumstances for our consideration.
Applications will be considered as quickly as possible by the UPCA Welfare Fund Committee. If successful the administrator will contact you asking for bank details to transfer the amount awarded and in the case of a bursary, to inform the course leader. The maximum amount awarded is £500.
Please note that the UPCA Welfare Fund is intended as a one-off only payment during training with possibly one application allowed for post-qualified members of UPCA. The fund is not intended as an on-going support.
