Charities, community groups and home education network groups based in England and Wales can apply on behalf of groups of young people (aged 26 and under) and groups of families who face challenges that make travel and adventure difficult to access.

The YHA Breaks Programme provides part-funded trips for groups who need additional support to access travel and adventure. Trips to YHA hostels are usually around two nights, with full-board catering provided at most hostels.

The programme is aimed at groups facing challenges such as caring responsibilities, disability or health conditions, additional needs, refugee or migrant status, homelessness risk, deprivation, care experience, ethnic inequality or the need for LGBTQ+ support.

Successful applicants will receive partial funding for stays taking place between September 2026 and March 2027. Funding is not available for individuals or individual families.

Applications can be submitted via the YHA Breaks Programme website (link below).
