When are sessions?
Studio Sessions run weekly over 4 terms throughout the year (44 weeks). You can sign up to as many terms as you like. We ask for 2 months notice so we can guarantee spaces.
Please ask us for details about current availability, term dates, payment plans and to book a FREE taster session.
Talk to your Social Care worker about how you can access funding support.

Info
Fees for each term are agreed and, where possible, payable in advance so we can guarantee you a space. We are not able to discount for missed sessions as we cannot guarantee to fill a space at short notice. However, we do have many clever ways for you to access support should you be unable to attend a session in person. We will always do our best to make sure you get value for money because we are a not-for-profit community interest company – this means our service exists to benefit the learning disabled and autistic community so all our core costs are paid from your fees and any end of year ‘profits’ go back into providing our service.
