All diagnostic appointments will take place in one of the meetings rooms we have rented along with various other meetings and training events. Please check the online calendar or contact the relevant staff member to confirm where and when the social and activity sessions/groups will take place. 

Please note, due to the limited space and availability of rooms and staff members, we are not able to accomodate drop-ins from clients or professionals. If you need to speak to someone face-to-face, please contact the relevant staff member, details listed below, by either phone, text or email. Please do not just turn up at the office as you may be turned away and we wouldn't want to disappoint anyone by having to do this.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during these unforeseen circumstances. 

Our normal phone number of 01282 415455 will be diverted to the General Enquiries number at Northbridge House but staff have their own direct dial numbers at the new offices.

Therefore we have no choice but to keep the ARC closed. Staff members will be working from home again today, Friday 23rd August and all sessions are cancelled until further notice. 

We will send out a further update over the weekend to confirm if the LBT sessions will be taking place next week. We apologise for the disruption to our services.

We apologise for the inconvenience but the safety of our staff and members is paramount. All sessions at the ARC have been cancelled but staff members are working from home. If you need to contact a staff member please do so via email and they will respond as soon as possible.

Please check the website for updates, we will also send out emails to our mailing list as soon as we have any news. 

Please click on the link below to download the booking form for the children's sessions.

If you would like to attend sessions, please complete the booking form and return this to us so that we can confirm a place for your child/ren on the requested sessions.

 
Due to increased numbers of children accessing our sessions, we are asking all parents to please use the booking system, as this means that we can allocate places as fairly as possible to all children.
