Why isn Makaton free?
The Makaton Charity operates on a very tight budget. Costs of resources and training reflect the quality of the research and design that goes into them. We plough back into the charity all the income from sales of our resources and training after essential expenses have been deducted. Juggling the different demands made on The Makaton Charity and trying to maintain a balance between meeting users’ needs and keeping The Makaton Charity solvent and in a position to continue the development of new resources and training is an enormous challenge which could not be met if we gave Makaton away.
