Workshops costs start from £150 for 120 mins depending on the situation. The schools programme that I run, strongly reflects current Ofsted metrics regarding resilience, perseverance, team work and creative thinking.

This latter option starts at an all-in cost of £375. With safety and the participants security being paramount, I have a Fully enhanced DBS alongside Safeguarding Young People and Child Protection in Education qualifications. (Awarded by Educare). I also have £10 million public liability insurance.
