Welcome to your local charity.
We know how hard it can be to navigate ‘the system’ to get appropriate professional help or support for your young person so we have 3 simple ways for connecting with us as listed below:
Please note that the office is open 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday during school term times.
Pick up the phone and speak to us – the number is 01823 433614
Email us on: info@conquestcentre.org.uk
Pop in and see us during school term time between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday, it’s best if you make an appointment first so you can be sure to see the right person when you come along.
If you know someone who needs urgent support please click here for links to organisations who offer crisis care and can support out of hours.
Before your young person’s first session we highly recommend you introduce them to a short video of who their mentor will be, these videos can be found here. We have also made this helpful video which can help as an introduction to the ‘sights and sounds’ of Conquest Centre,
We’d love to hear from you so please feel free to pick up the phone to talk anything through, also do have a look at our FAQ page here.
Your young person does not need have received a diagnosis or referral to attend, anyone can come to us and all we need is an introductory conversation so we can assign the right level and frequency of support. All our sessions are tailored around the needs of each individual, working with our therapy animals and outdoors in nature (when the weather allows). You can see more about how we work here.
We are not prescriptive in our approach or driven by set outcomes which means we can be flexible to the needs of each individual in the moment. Sessions can be either 30 or 60 mins, it’s usual for clients to commit to a minimum of 10 sessions. A half hour session costs min £35 and then prices vary depending on length and individual needs. This is something we can discuss during your first meeting or telephone conversation and may be re-evaluated as time progresses.
There are funding and sponsorship opportunities for some individuals, and we can provide links and suggestions for how you may be able to access these funds Grants for individuals – Somerset Community Foundation. When we can, we aim to support the whole family and encourage participation from those close to the young person attending.
There is a funded program for parents and carers of children or young people in therapy running until August 2025. Please contact the office for further information
FYI we have a full changing places lavatory and shower facility on site.
