As a Community Interest Company (CIC),
we are here for our community
One of the core purposes of Dalston Clay is to bring the benefits of creative wellbeing to the people who need it most. We're always looking for funding so we can offer free or low-cost sessions to community groups.
​
Registered charities and CICs receive 20% off our group rates for daytime sessions, between 9am and 5.30pm any day of the week, except Saturday afternoons. Evening sessions are charged at our standard group rate.
​
If you lead a charity or community group and cost is a barrier, please get in touch anyway. We'd love to talk about what's possible.

As a CIC and Social Enterprise, it is our intention to make Dalston Clay a studio that is available to everyone, regardless of financial circumstance. While we need to function as a business, we never want money to be the reason why someone can't benefit from what we've built. If you truly can't afford the full cost of our offerings, we invite you to contact us to discuss your situation and we will endeavour to sort something out.
