SYHA Youth Programme with funding from The Gannochy Trust

SYHA Hostelling Scotland and The Gannochy Trust have teamed up to extend our current SYHA Youth Programmes. We will offer successful groups places for up to 20 participants and their teachers/leaders for a 2 night residential with activity programme at either Loch Ossian or Pitlochry youth hostels.

What to Expect

Taking place at either Loch Ossian or Pitlochry youth hostels, the programmes offer young people who come from social and economic areas of disadvantage, the opportunity to experience an action-packed time away from home. Designed to inspire the youngsters by offering a range of outdoor challenges during their trip.

Funded by The Gannochy Trust and delivered by SYHA Hostelling Scotland, this unique programme is seeking applications for the 2016 programme. Each successful school will receive a maximum of 20 pupil places and 2 teacher places to participate on one of 2 trips.

If you are a Head, Deputy or Class teacher, a youth group leader or are working with young people who would benefit from this residential and wish to be considered for the programme, please complete the form on the next page.

Further details including itineraries are available on www.syha.org.uk/charity Closing date 13 May 2016.
