Financial Support
The UK Government website has financial support for young people aged 16-19 who are studying at a publicly funded school or college in England – not a university, on a training course, including unpaid work experience. A publicly funded school is one that does not charge you for attending it.

They recommend checking what support you qualify for and reaching out to creditors or local councils if needed.
