We believe every young person should have the opportunity to travel to a new place and discover new environments away from home with their friends. Breaks for Kids can contribute up to 50% of the cost of accommodation and meals for young people from low-income households on trips with schools or other youth groups.
Every child has the right to enjoy a residential with their friends, grow in confidence, increase self-awareness and achieve a sense of belonging.

Applying for funding is easy and applications are considered on the basis of:
