Everyone In Fund - Spring Harvest 2024
Benefits application
Spring Harvest and many of our guests and supporters want to help as many people as possible to join us in 2024.
If you would like to join us in Skegness or Minehead and receive certain state benefits, you can apply for help towards the cost of your booking.
IMPORTANT: The fund is very low and we may not be able to meet your request.
Please do not book if you need assistance as you may be disappointed as we may not be able to help with the cost.
How to get help for a resort booking
Step 1
Make your resort booking. This may be an individual booking, a family booking or part of a group.
Step 3
We will tell you how much we will pay towards your booking. We will also tell the person who made your booking (if not you).
Step 2
Apply for a payment as soon as you can after booking. (It is fine to complete the form for someone else, as long as they are happy for you to give us their details). Your application can include children or other adults who live with you.
Step 4
We pay the agreed amount directly to Butlin's. Your booking cost will not change but you will not have to pay so much as we will have paid some of it.
How to get help for a day visitor ticket
Apply first If you are not booking with Butlin's but want to come as a day visitor and you receive a benefit, please apply for your discount before buying your ticket. If successful we will send you a discount code you can use when you book.
Who can apply?
If you receive one of these benefits you can apply for a payment towards your Spring Harvest booking for yourself and anyone who lives with you and relies on your income:
List 1
- Income Support
- Working Tax Credit (unless you only receive an extra element)
- Employment & Support Allowance
- Carer's Allowance
- Severe Disablement Allowance
- Incapacity benefit
- Pension Credit
Day Visitors - you would be eligible for the standard discount rate (1/3 off).
List 2
- Child Tax Credit
- Working Tax Credit if you only have the child care or disability element.
- Job Seekers Allowance
- Disability Living Allowance
- Personal Independence Payment
- Attendance Allowance
Resort booking - We would pay £40 per person if your application is successful.
Day Visitors - we may be able to offer you a smaller discount.
Universal Credit
If you receive Universal Credit we will decide on the payment we can make when we have seen your benefit notification. Apply
You can apply for a payment for yourself, your children and any adult who depends on you for finances. If your spouse or another adult in your family also receive a benefit they can apply too.
Not coming?
If are not coming but your child is and you receive a benefit you can apply for a payment for them.
Your benefit
We will only make one payment per person, even if you receive more than one benefit.
If you are given a benefit on behalf of a child we will offer a payment for the child and one adult only.
Your booking
Payments are usually only made for Silver or Standard accommodation but we know that sometimes you will have to book other types of accommodation, in which case we will ask you for more details.
For best results
Complete the form on a phone with a camera or a tablet so you can photograph your proof of benefit.
Cancellations
We hope you can join us but if you have to cancel your booking please let us know. Payments will only be made for people who attend Spring Harvest. If you have to cancel after we have agreed a payment for you we will reclaim the payment and allocate it to someone else. If you cancel after your final payment is due you may be responsible for the full cost of your booking.
We can offer this help because of the generous giving of friends and supporters.
The money we can give away is limited and we are sorry but once it has gone we will not be able to take any more applications, so please apply as soon as you can.
