My journey with they YHA started back in June '22 in the Lake District and continues now at YHA Hartington Hall in the Peak District.

At Hartington, I have seen first hand the joy and excitement that can be delivered through residential stays and access to our outdoor spaces.

The YHA's mission is to enable everyone, especially young people, to connect with people, nature and heritage through hostels in amazing places - I believe this is important now, more than ever!

My childhood was one of relative adventure from cycling to kayaking, running to climbing... Being able to help facilitate the next generation of intrepid explorers is truly inspiring to me.

I'm running so that no child is left behind!
