We offer free funded places so that children can access therapy even when their family couldn't otherwise afford it. This page explains who funded places are for and how to apply.
Who funded places are for
Funded places are intended for families for whom the cost of therapy would be a genuine barrier. When we consider requests, we think about things such as a family's financial circumstances, the child's needs, whether other support is already in place, and the funding we currently have available. We can't help everyone all at once, but we try to direct funded places to where they will make the most difference.
How to apply
To apply, please email us at hello@origamiwings.org and include:
- The child's age.
- The area you live in.
- What's worrying you — a short description of what's going on for the child.
- Your preferred way to be contacted.
- Any professional involvement (for example a GP, school or social worker).
- Confirmation that you are applying for a funded place.
What happens next
Once we receive your email, a member of our team will be in touch to talk things through, answer your questions and explain the next steps. If a funded place isn't immediately available, we'll do our best to suggest other options.
If you'd like to help us keep funded places going, please see support us.
