Breaks 4 Kids
Is a charitable fund, founded and supported by the Youth Hostel Association (YHA). It helps to fund youth groups and school trips for children from low income households, by contributing towards the cost of their YHA accommodation and food. This gives children who would otherwise be left behind, the chance to be included in the trip with the rest of their group.
Grants are available to help young people travelling as part of an organised group. This could be a school class, youth club, church group, or a group organised by a body such as the Youth Offending Group or Connexions. The YHA can award up to 50% of the cost of accommodation and food, for any person under the age of 18, who is entitled to free school dinners or is from a low income household. You can organise your own trip or choose from a selection of YHA School Trip packages.
