About Friends of YHA

Friends of YHA is an additional source of business and governance information for those who are interested in getting involved with YHA.

This could be through becoming a Trustee or simply learning more about the way we run as an organisation and our ambitions for the future.

There are also sections on volunteering at our hostels and more about YHA, so keep visiting!

Ask to join

Company membership

Our Board of Trustees would like to invite all YHA members to contribute to decision making by becoming company members. Company membership is open to all YHA members (excluding staff) and you can be a company member for as long as you hold valid YHA membership. It carries special status and brings additional opportunities and responsibilities.

As a company member, on top of your existing YHA member benefits, you will:

  • be invited to attend YHA events and general meetings
  • vote on resolutions
  • receive regular updates from the Chief Executive
  • have access to a dedicated webpage, including AGM information
  • be invited to contribute to appropriate consultations

Members can become company members through the 'My Profile' section of their YHA.org.uk online account.
