Payment options...

We work very hard to secure funding to ensure there are as little barriers as possible to young people participating in our activities.  


There is a free option for classes to ensure that we are able to be as accessible as possible for young people and their families. If you are able to, there is the option to donate when you sign up to the classes which includes a £20 option (equivalent to £2 per class), a £40 option (equivalent to £4 per class) or £50 option (equivalent to £5 per class).

All funds we raise from classes go right back into providing opportunities for the young people.


If you wish to donate and are signing up more than one child on a Thinkific course, you can pay for the extra child here
