SNAPS is a charity and we receive no statutory funding to deliver our services. 

The cost of hosting our Saturday sessions is around £1,760. This equates to about £45 per 20 minute slot. This is the true economic cost of renting school accommodation, paying staff, and all of the background expenses of running an organisation, such as accountancy fees and IT. 

When accessed privately, hydrotherapy and rebound therapy sessions are often priced around £45. We currently charge our families just £11 to bring their child and any siblings to SNAPS. An increasing number of our families come for a booked session, and then make the most of our socialising and play activities too. This charge represents great value for families, some of whom are struggling financially, with the added expense of raising a child with additional needs.

We know that there will always be a gap between our costs and what we can charge our families, but, as a charity, we have to find ways to close that gap. We do this through our fundraising efforts and we are lucky to have received support from Trusts, Foundations, corporate sponsors, the community and individuals.
