Give us a Break is a scheme funded by members <strong>and</strong> supporters of YHA. Its purpose is to support<br />
disadvantaged youngsters travelling in an organised group who would benefit from a residential<br />
experience at a Youth Hostel. The amount of financial support offered depends on certain criteria. This<br />
would include where your group is located e.g. Education Action Zone, levels of deprivation <strong>and</strong><br />
numbers of families on benefit.<br />
For more information about the scheme <strong>and</strong> to check whether your group would be eligible for<br />
funding please contact a YHA Groups Advisor on: 01629 592638 or email: giveusabreak@yha.org.uk<br />
