We depend on our membership fees to help fund bursary places for courses and to make our training as accessible as possible for young trainees and those in financial hardship.

Bursary Sponsors

At CREST, we are very privileged to work with businesses who have helped us to launch our bursary scheme. Whilst our FiPL funding has helped us to reduce the costs of our training significantly, we are aware that there are many people who would love to learn Cornish hedging as a professional craft, but are in financial hardship and cannot afford the remaining fee. The following businesses have contributed bursary places, allowing us to train some of the next generation of Cornish hedgers for no cost to the trainee. Please get in touch with us if you would like to contribute to our bursary scheme.

Thank you to our Bursary Sponsors:
