The Assisted Berth Scheme (ABS) is a fund raised by OYT Scotland to help disadvantaged young people afford the fees to take part in a youth voyage. The ABS exists to help those young people who are most in need of financial assistance. The ABS is made up of a number of donations and grants from various public and private bodies.
