Concession Pricing

Concessions

We try to keep our prices as low as possible for every activity that we run. We are a charity and not a profit making organisation. Any surplus that we make is ploughed straight back in to supporting and developing our classes and workshops. 

However, we also understand that not everyone can afford to pay the full fees for our services.  If you would like to participate in a class but are not in a position to afford the full fees please get in touch with us at classes@scottishculture.org and ask us about concession pricing. Your message will be treated confidentially and we will discuss with you the best option for your individual circumstances.

Concession Pricing

75% of class fee – so £90/£94.50/£99 (or 3 installments of £30/£31.50/£33).
Eligible participants will be asked to confirm that they are in receipt of at least one of the following benefits and they will be given a discount code. We won’t ask which benefit(s) you are receiving.

Qualifying benefiits include :

  • Universal credit
  • Jobseekers allowance
  • Pension credit
  • Personal Independence Payment (PIP),
  • Employment and Support Allowance (ESA),
  • Attendance Allowance for those over State Pension age
  • Carer’s allowance

Any application made will be dealt with in as non-intrusive a way as possible. 

Pay by Installments

We also offer the option to pay for our classes by instalments. This option is available to everyone, at signup, on our Thinkific Website.
