Financial contributions and fees:

We are a not for profit organisation, and so we require contributions for program costs where possible, but recognise that many of those we work with are struggling financially and may not have the means to contribute. Therefore session fees can be discussed on a case-by-case basis, and no-one will be excluded due to inability to pay.

If you indicate you have capacity to make a contribution, our Program Manager will be in touch to discuss this with you once the referral has been accepted.

Please choose one option: *
