Trip Costs:

As many of you are coming to serve as a mission trip, the following information will be helpful to you if you plan on raising the money from contributions of others.  Obviously, if you want to pay for your travel and camp costs yourself, that is fine and you can disregard the fundraising information. 

Each person will need to work out an individualized budget to cover costs for the specific amount of time you will to be in the U.K. This is a GUIDE to help you know how much money will be required for the trip.  Expenses may be adjusted to accommodate the actual amount raised.  In addition to this budget, YL will charge a small service fee to cover operations costs and to contribute to the development of the ministry.  

We are setting a budget for you that does not include spending money or extra days of sightseeing.  If you plan on staying to sightsee, raise at least an extra $50-$70 a day.   If you want to raise money locally through your church (instead of through Young Life) this might be a possibility.  Please check with your church and Beth Ann before doing so.  Money raised will cover all costs related to field service.  This includes airfare, travel within the country, food and lodging.  This DOES NOT include sightseeing costs, toiletries and gifts.
