Financial We want to make sure that everyone can take part in a QVA retreat, regardless of their financial status. Our tiered fee system means you can pay what you can afford, and you never have to justify which tier you choose.
About the fees
The fees reflect the approximate cost per person for their time at the retreat including food, accommodation, activities, and resources, plus the costs of running the retreat including facilitator fees and training costs, as well as staff planning and administration costs.
Financial support
Help is available if you cannot afford to pay the lower tier of fees. We can support you to apply to your Local / Area Quaker Meeting, Quaker grant-giving trust, or other source of funding. We also have our own Bursary Fund. Please contact us for more information. You never need to justify asking for financial help.
Donations
You are extremely welcome to make a donation in excess of the tier 3 fee to support our Bursary Fund and help others take part in QVA retreats. Please visit the Donate page to make a donation.
Please indicate how you intend to pay the fee. *
