Travel Expenses

We are keen that the cost of getting to and from the competition should not put people off applying. We are able to help with these expenses but unfortunately do not have limitless funds. Please ask if you need help.

WordSong is passionate about encouraging the communication of English words in speech and song in young singers and actors.
