Change a young life forever

About YHA (England & Wales)

Help make the moments that transform lives forever.

YHA creates the moments that matter in young lives; the extraordinary moments when young people begin to believe in themselves, discover their talents and find the ambition that will lead them along a different path in life.

Poverty, disability, illness, bereavement and other challenges are limiting children’s life chances and damaging their future prospects.

Some children can’t wait for life to change. Now is the moment they need you most. Please support YHA. Together, we can transform young lives forever through travel and real adventure.

How we change young lives

Young Carers at YHA Perranporth

In  2017, young carers from a deprived area of Dorset went on a respite trip to YHA Perranporth. Most of these children don’t have family holidays. We supported a vital break from their caring responsibilities to spend time in the company of others who know  what they’re going through.
