YHA England & Wales

We are YHA. We transform young lives forever through travel and adventure. Because where you go changes who you become.

We operate an network of 150 hostels in England & Wales. Our accommodation ranges from manor houses and city centre hostels to mountain retreats and cosy cottages by the sea. We welcome all to enjoy our world class facilities.

We’re a non-profit trading charity (Registered charity number: 306122). Everything we earn we reinvest in our places, our people and our programmes.

Our focus is on improving physical and mental health, wellbeing and life skills through the experiences we provide. We’re here to make a positive difference to every person that passes through our doors but we believe we can make the greatest difference to young people.

We believe in the power of travel and adventure to change lives. And we believe everyone should have access to these experiences, so we create opportunities for young people with challenging lives who'd otherwise miss out.
