Chosing Your Payment Amount - Please Read
£6 = Our Standard Class Fee is for people who have a steady income (from any source) and are able to occasionally attend paid events or classes.
Alternative options
£3 = The Reduced Class Fee is an alternative option for people who have an unsteady or low income, are not often able to attend paid events or classes, and would really struggle to pay the standard class cost of £6.
£8 = Class Fee + is an alternative option for people who have more disposable income and are able to regularly attend paid events or classes. This option also helps us sustain the reduced priced option.
With these three options, it is also completely OK to pick different payment options at each class. You get to choose exactly what you pay according to what you can genuinely afford. We only ask you that you do a little bit of self-reflection before choosing your price point. You may find yourself somewhere between price points and that is fine. You get to choose which price point fits most comfortably at any given time.
