What I love and appreciate about Trusts like this is that they give a chance to those in need.

Dear The Kieran Taylor Trust, My name is Francesca, and I am currently in my final year of training on the MA Acting course at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

The application was simple and accessible, and I was immensely grateful for the genuine care and attention shown throughout.

I used the award to purchase essential dance items including pointe shoes, tights, and leotards, as well as to pay my Rambert Pre-Vocational course fees.

I applied for this trust to help aid financially for the costs of my pointe shoes. I found the process for applying very easy and straightforward.  

I applied because I was lucky enough to get cars in a great show which happened to be in London and I couldn't afford to do that on my own

At the beginning of 2022, myself and my friend decided to take up a contract for renting a space to use as a studio, DJ and creative room.

We applied to the trust as our family circumstances made it very difficult as a family to cover all of Lacey's School Fees, Uniform and extras that were needed for her to be able to train at The Royal Ballet School in London.

I used the award in the exact ways I had mentioned in my application, mainly equipment clothing and extra lessons.

 I am studying at Central School of Ballet and I am going into my graduate year. 

I applied to the Kieron Taylor trusts to be able to support the costs of my training fees at drama school.

I had a show at the cockpit theatre and was worried about how I was going to pay for expenses such as food and travel while I was there, especially as it was in London, I knew it was going to cost a good amount.
