Out of necessity we have to charge a fee for our courses - this is because we receive no government funding and as a charity we rely on income from fundraising and course fees. The fee for the Bristol Approach 2-day residential course is £195 per person. This includes all food, accommodation, individual appointments and group work sessions. This rate has been subsidised by our fundraising efforts and does not reflect the actual cost of running the course.
We appreciate that the costs of our courses can be a lot of money to find. There is financial assistance available please contact our helpline on 0845 123 23 10 to find out more.
