Do you know about Falcon holidays? Falcon holidays are for young people who face disadvantage in their daily lives, as a result of challenging personal, family or social issues. These holidays are heavily subsidised so that the price is not a barrier to anybody attending, and have an even higher ratio of leaders to young people, making sure that each child’s individual needs are met. If your group or someone you know would benefit from a Falcon holiday, please call our office on 0300 123 0780 (option 2) to talk it through.

Can you help Falcons?

Any questions before you book? When do Ventures take place? Ventures don’t just happen in the summer. We have holidays at Easter, New Year and during half-terms too. Take a peek at our All Year Round Ventures (pages 6-7) for more information.

How do I get to my Venture? We ask people to make their own way to the Venture, but it might be worth contacting the Venture leaders to see if they know about any group travel arrangements.

How do I book? Simply make an online reservation at www.ventures.org.uk or complete the paper booking form in the centre pages of this brochure and send it to the Bookings Contact for your chosen Venture.

How much do Ventures cost? Ventures are great value. On average, the cost is under £38 a day which covers superb accommodation, excellent on-site facilities, amazing activities and fun day trips. If price is a barrier, we’d rather you let us know so we can talk you through our bursary scheme in case that helps get you there!

Will it feel like church? Ventures do vary a bit, just like different churches. If you do go to church and want something that matches its style (or offers something different) let us know, and we can point you in the right direction.

Who’s in charge on a Venture? Our holidays are led by volunteers, whose primary responsibility is to provide a safe and enjoyable holiday for young people. We use the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) as part of our safer recruitment policy and each holiday has Overall Leaders appointed by and accountable to CPAS.

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us on ventures@cpas.org.uk or give us a call on 0300 123 0780 (option 2) and one of the team will be able to help you!

• Remember that the Bible

If we cannot accept your booking. If we are unable to accept your booking, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the holiday. This might be because there are no more places available on the holiday, because of unexpected demands placed upon our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because a payment for the holiday has failed, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the holiday or because we are unable to provide the holiday on the dates you have requested. 3.3. Your booking number. We will assign a booking number to you and tell you what it is when we accept your booking. 4. OUR HOLIDAYS 4.1. Holidays will be provided in accordance with but may vary slightly from the description in our brochures or on our website.

Making sure your booking information is accurate. We are arranging the holiday based on the booking information you have given to us and you are responsible for ensuring that all the information you have provided to us is correct.

If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see clause 8 - Your rights to end the contract). 6. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES 6.1. Minor changes to the holidays. We may change the holiday to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and in order to comply with our statutory duties.

In such circumstances, we will make suitable alternative arrangements at no extra cost to you. 6.2. More significant changes to the holidays and these terms.

If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect. 15.5. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the holiday, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date. 15.6. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings.
