If you are interested in Studio Upstairs, phone us on 0117 9300314 to arrange a visit. Come along and see the studio and then, if you decide you want to attend regularly, we will arrange for a free-of-charge introduction day so that you get a real feel of the studio. You don’t have to live in Bristol to attend. We have members from Bristol and a number of the surrounding counties.

I have tried a lot of different therapies but never found anything that helped me until I came to Studio Upstairs. I have grown so much in the last year. Thank you!

Fees
Our current (2007/2008) fees are £30.90 for one day per week and £57.22 for two days per week
(Fees are reviewed annually at the beginning of April in line with RPI.)
Social Service Funding
If you are already linked into the Social Services, your Care Co-ordinator can refer you to Studio Upstairs and this can be approved as part of your care plan. In Bristol, Care Co-ordinators need approval for funding from their Team Manager. Details are then sent to the Planning and Commissioning Manager for a contract to be drawn up.
In areas outside Bristol (BANES, South Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, North Somerset, etc.) Care Co-ordinators get approval for funding from their Team Leader and draw up the contract.
Independent Membership
If you self-refer, we can arrange for you to be an Independent Member although we can only have a certain number of Independent Members in the studio. Fees are subject to individual financial circumstances.
