YHA (Youth Hostels Association): Young People's Residential Breaks

The Youth Hostels Association (England & Wales) (YHA) is offering support through its YHA Breaks Programme, which provides subsidised or fully funded residential stays at YHA hostels for young people and families who might otherwise be unable to afford a trip away. 

Organisations can apply on behalf of any individual or group of young people who are experiencing disadvantage including homelessness, disability, long-term illness, bereavement, and other circumstances that limit children’s opportunities.

Funding is provided mainly as subsidised residential breaks at YHA hostels across England and Wales. Support may cover accommodation and, in some cases, meals and activity costs. Grants commonly cover up to around 50% of the cost of a residential stay, although some groups may receive higher levels of support depending on need.
