YHA is a national charity on a mission to connect people with each other, the outdoors, nature and heritage through hostels in amazing places. We have over 150 sites throughout England and Wales and provide inclusive adventures, in extraordinary buildings, in amazing places. We are a leading social enterprise and a 90-year-old charity on a mission to enrich lives. Especially young lives. By providing brilliant hostel stays and experiences that improve physical health, mental wellbeing and life skills. By staying with us, becoming a member, volunteering or donating to YHA, not only will you feel the benefit, but you will help us reach those who’d miss out without us. Our strategy for the next ten years, developed through work undertaken throughout 2019, and approved by the Board in February 2020 can be viewed here: https://www.yha.org.uk/about-yha/yha-10-year-strategy

Our strategy is ambitious. It will see us reaching more people and growing our impact, with a focus on those who could benefit the most, in an era that needs us more than ever. We are YHA. Because where you go changes who you become.

There are some things we all mean to get around to, and making a will can be one of them. Having a will in place means you can be clear about your wishes and help make sure that the people and causes that matter to you are looked after.

October is Free Wills Month, so it's a good time to take that step. Through our Free Wills partners, a limited number of free wills are available, giving you the opportunity to make or update your will.
