IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please read before booking:

Does my young person need a diagnosis to attend?

No, we welcome Autistic young people who are awaiting assessment and self-identified as Autistic. It is essential that your young person knows they are or may be Autistic though.

Are these groups only for Autistic young people?

At the moment, yes. We know we call GROVE ‘Neurodivergent‘ Mentoring & Education and that is because we fully intend to create groups for otherwise neurodivergent young people in time – if we end up not doing that, our name will change.

Can we cancel if my young person can’t attend or if they don’t like it?

Yes! Full details about this can be found in our Terms & Conditions.

How long do the groups run for?

Overwhelmingly, feedback from our previous groups was that the young people wanted the routine and sense of belonging that a continuous group brings. So, all our groups run without an end date with pre-arranged breaks. Once your person has a place, they keep that place for as long as they want it (subject to Terms and Conditions).

What happens after I book?

You will be required to complete a booking form within 48 hours to secure your young person’s space.

Upon receipt of the booking form you will be sent an invoice to pay for the first sessions (if the first session takes place within the last two weeks of the month, that invoice will take you to the end of the following month). 

Payment must be made by the date specified on the invoice to secure the space.

How do I pay?

It will be via BACS transfer upon receipt of an invoice. Invoices will be sent monthly thereafter.

How does the waiting list work?

Group places will become available from time to time, so please join the no-obligation waiting list for a group your young person would like to attend. If we have enough people on the waiting list this also enables us to consider creating a second group for them.

How can I book a session that is funded by EOTAS/EOTIS, personal budget etc?

Please book a normal, self-funded space and indicate that it will be professionally funded on the booking form. Jess will be in touch to discuss how this will be arranged.

More FAQ’s can be found at the bottom of this page.

PRICES

Please read before booking:

 We want to keep our groups as financially accessible as possible so we have the following approaches:

 ~ ‘Pay What You Can‘ spaces – these enable young people who would not otherwise be able to attend to be part of our community. The booking will show if a space is available or not. See the Terms and Conditions. 

IMPORTANT: Please do not book a ‘Pay What You Can’ space if you can afford to pay – it’s important this space is available for those who genuinely cannot afford to fund the group.

If the only place left is a ‘Pay What You Can’ but you are able to pay, please join the waiting list for the paid place and we will be in touch if no one takes the ‘Pay What You Can’ space before the booking closes.

~ Reduced fees of £12.50 per hour session for parents/carers self-funding.

~ Full-price fees of £25 per hour when funding via EOTAS / EOTIS / Personal Budget / EHCP / Section 19, schools, LAs or any other such professional body or means.*

Please note that the pricing structure is different for our parent/carer groups – parent/carer groups are only available to adults with a young person already working with GROVE either in our individual mentoring programme or in a group.
