Young people are referred onto an SU Holiday by their youth worker or SU Group leader. The aim of Motiv8 Holidays is to provide a safe and stimulating environment for young people from priority areas to explore the Christian faith. In order to do this we ask that referrers send a known adult to come on the holiday as a leader.
Referrers can also request Motiv8 places at mainstream SU Holidays for any young people in their groups who do not have specific behavioural issues.
All Motiv8 places (at a Motiv8 Holiday or on an SU Holiday) are heavily subsidised, with each child only being asked to pay £50.
