Maximum Numbers Able to Book

MRI has a number of volunteers appropriately trained to support MRI youth work.  Please contact us to find out whether we can accommodate your group. We have had groups of up to 60 here!

 

Cost

If MRI visits you to e.g. join in a health, personal safety, or activities day:

  • £60 for 1/2 day

  • £120 for full day.

Assuming one instructor required.

Short sessions e.g. a school assembly, charged at cost to MRI (fuel & time).

If you visit MRI, it very much depends on the activity required, supervision levels etc.  As a approximate guide:

A  4-hour programme, timetabled to suit the needs of the participating school (e.g. arrive 10am, lunch 12.30-1pm, finish 2.30pm) for groups of up to 24 persons, preferably split into 3 teams of 8: MRI will charge £35 per individual i.e. a group of only 8 would cost 8 x £35 = £280.

MRI does not charge VAT.
