Join us.

Start off by completing our short registration form. You can also contact our team directly if you’d prefer a conversation first. We’ll ask for some basic details about:

• Your interests in performing arts or wellbeing
• Your experience
• Any support needs or accessibility requirements
• Preferred class types or activities
• Availability

Once we receive your request form, our team will be in touch to arrange a friendly meet & greet phone call.
This helps us understand:

• Your goals and interests
• The right level of support needed
• Which classes might be the best fit

 

There’s no pressure, this is simply about finding the right starting point for you.

We understand that finding the right class can take time, and that’s why we offer flexible trial sessions, meaning you can:

• Try as many different classes as you like
• Repeat trial sessions if needed
• Explore various activities such as dance, drama, music, DJing, or wellbeing sessions before making any commitment

 

After your trial sessions, we’ll check in with you, the Baked Bean tutors and your support network to discuss how each session went and see if it’s the right fit for you.

Once you’ve decided which class you would like to take part in, it’s time to sort the finances. We know that funding can sometimes be a barrier, so we’re here to help.

Our team can:

• Talk you through available funding pathways with local authorities
• Support you with applications for local authority or social care funding
• Provide information for personal budgets or EHCP-linked support where relevant

Once everything is in place, we’ll confirm your place in a suitable class and agree on a start date.

You’ll also receive:

• Timetables and session details
• Contact information for your class tutors
• Any access information you may need
