Our events are a mixture of free and paid for events, depending on the type of activity. However, all prices of our events and activities are kept at the absolute minimum and we often secure external funding to help lower this cost.
The events run by the team take place in Buckinghamshire and Hertforshire predominantly. However, the team also provide logistical support to several events in surrounding areas so you may see some of our team in other places too.
