Thanks all. I have done the grants to death over the last three years of training but will try the Princes Trust and others again. It's all so time consuming and mainly fruitless.

I will ask Equity Anna C and let the forum know

Thanks all for your replies, the apprenticeship is in the UK and is unpaid as it's a small company who do not have any funding for 1st year undergraduate apprentices. It's a rung at the bottom of the ladder in experience but it's a year of training and experience that will have to be supported by the bank of mum. The law around dance apprenticeships is very different to the law around 'normal' unpaid working and benefit claiming. It's unfortunately the way of the dance world these days that if you want to get on the ladder you have to pay to do so and not the other way round. Was hoping someone knew of some obscure grant that would fit!

My DD has been offered an unpaid apprenticeship following graduation this year aged 19. As she will working but in an unpaid position does anyone know if she would be entitled to any help from the Government in relation to job seekers allowance, though she is not job seeking, but it used to be unemployment benefit and technically she is not employed as will not be receiving a wage. Anyone else in a similar position that can advise? Many thanks
