How much does the service cost?

Thanks to the Big Lottery Communities Grant, we can run the Families United project as a free of charge service for those families with no recourse to finances to pay for it. Where a family is being funded we will invoice a charge of £80 per session. It is the same price whether for an individual or whole family attending.

How we do it

The best way to book sessions is by referral, however we will consider family self-referrals sometimes. There is a simple referral form to complete (see below). Our horses are an essential part of the team. We are not a horse riding project, all the activities take place on the ground. But don’t let this put you off, we are confident that to experience horses next to them rather than on them brings a different and special relationship.
