A free taster session and full application is mandatory before accessing our activities. The application process has a quick turnaround of just 2 working days, but taster sessions can only be booked using existing session dates. Therefore please allow at least one month from point of contact to point of entry into our services so we have time to book a convenient taster session. A carer is required at all points of the application process including the taster session, and there must be an ongoing contact for as long as the member attends our services. This can be a family member, paid carer or a professional working with the individual.
