2026: QiY Inters Holidays
Our holidays are short residential breaks for young people.

- Standard £40 (the actual cost of the holiday)
- Supported £30

Please choose the rate that feels right for your circumstances. There is no judgement — we understand each family’s situation is different.
If you’d like guidance, please get in touch.

Questions or concerns
If you have any questions or concerns about activities or your young person’s participation, please contact:
✉ LinkGroup@quakersinyorkshire.org.uk
or add a note in the “anything else” section of the form.
Who’s running the holidays?
Inters Holidays are planned by a volunteer group, part of and accountable to Quakers in Yorkshire.
The holiday is run by a team of volunteers, supported by the Youth Development Worker for Yorkshire.
The designated parent liaison is Jo Baynham, who can be contacted via the email above.
Young people with additional needs
We want all young people to feel welcome and able to take part.
It is really important that we understand any needs in advance so we can support everyone safely and well.
Please include any relevant information on the booking form.
If your young person receives support at school, it is helpful for us to know what that looks like.
You are very welcome to get in touch before booking to talk things through.
Safety & medical information
We collect medical and consent information so we can respond quickly and appropriately if needed.
We take a case-by-case, safety-based approach to rooming arrangements in line with QiY policy.
If your young person identifies differently from the sex on their birth certificate, we will likely be in touch to discuss how best to support them.
Please include any additional information you feel we should know.
IMPORTANT: Contact during the holiday
We aim to ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone.
Occasionally, a young person may need to go home early (for example due to illness or behaviour affecting the group). By booking a place, parents/guardians agree to:
- remain contactable during the holiday
- make arrangements to collect their young person if needed
Safeguarding
We follow the safeguarding policies of Quakers in Yorkshire.
