REDUCED FEE SYSTEM
What Is It And How Easy Is It To Apply, Really?

If you are struggling to find your class fees or annual subscription, or both……”Ask Yvonne”.
That’s really how easy it can be.

If you are in receipt of Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance or Working Tax Credit you may qualify for an assisted place for your child/children to attend Pre-School Music classes.

The amount that we will reduce your fees by is directly affected by your income and the number of children you have. That doesn’t mean the number of children you have attending PRESMA classes, but the number of children in your family.


If you are receiving Income support or Job Seekers allowance you will qualify for a 75% reduction in your class fees and annual subscription: ie. Your annual subscription would be £2.50 instead of £10.

If your income is below £15000 a year and you have one or more children we will pay for 75% of your class fees.

If your annual income is between £15100 and £17000 and you have just one child we will contribute 50%, but if you have 2 or more children, this increases to 75%.

If your income each year is between £17501and £20000 you may still be entitled to help, but this time it would be 25% for a single child family, 50% for 2 children and 75% for a family with 3 or more children.

To make a claim you have to show us a copy of either your benefit award notice (form TC602) or other relevant paperwork such as your latest income support letter showing your home address. Send it to the PRESMA office (address on back cover of newsletter) marked “Private and Confidential”, for the attention of Yvonne Bell, Treasurer, or if you would rather, take it in person.
The Treasurer will assess your claim and will inform you if your application has been successful.
We require proof of your need for assistance at the start of each September (for our own accounting purposes) or when your form TC602 expires and we would expect you to notify us of any changes in your circumstances as soon as possible.
