Additional Costs

Leaders in Cheshire are eligible to attend the courses free of charge. However once booked your place is reserved and “freezes out” other volunteers who might wish to attend the learning for the modules. Therefore, if you need to cancel your reserved place you must give at least 10 days notice and we reserve the right to charge you for none attendance. Please bear in mind that venues, resources and catering may have already been committed.

These courses are very popular therefore only reserve a place if you are sure you can commit to the full course length and are prepared to attend all the sessions
