Our priority is always the safety and wellbeing of young people.  Unfortunately there may be times when our facilities and capacity can’t adequately meet their needs. We are always looking to review and improve upon this.

We are committed to including all young people in all our workshops wherever possible. Please do get in touch if you think a young person hoping to attend a workshop would need anything specific from us that isn’t covered below.  We will always try as hard as possible to address any barriers you might face if you are thinking of visiting us.

We have recently moved into our new building on Ship Hill in Rotherham, and are undergoing a large transformation project.  We will be adding a full access guide here as soon as we are able to do so.  Please see below for our access statement.

If you would like any further information or have any questions, we would love to hear from you. You can contact the access officer at info@grimmandco.co.uk or by calling 01709 829750.
