YWCA adventure challenges
Go to the ends of the earth for YWCA on one of our global adventure challenges!
Thousands of young women face challenges every day that most of us would find intolerable: bullying, prejudice, exclusion, violence, poverty and abuse. Now you can face the challenge of your life to help us support them.
These trips are organised and run for us by Global Adventure Challenges, a professional ATOL protected travel company who handle all the bookings and arrangements for us.

The Great Wall challenge "You are not a man if you have not been to the Great Wall" according to a Chinese proverb. We'd like to think 'youre not a woman' either. You will take an incredible hike along the wall and you can even help with it's rebuilding too. |

Coast to coast cycle challenge This cycle challenge encompasses some of the best scenery Britain has to offer from the rolling green hills of the Yorkshire Moors, to the stunning mountains of the Lake District. |

Hadrian's Wall trek Take in 25 miles of history on this trek along Hadrian's wall. You will see fascinating ruins and experience the beauty of Northumberland National Park as you walk from the East to the West coasts of England. |

their stories
When she first came to YWCA, Natasha was battling drink and drug addictions and had recently spent a lot of time in prison.
we think
...girls need safe and interesting places to go and interesting things to do, especially in the evenings and at weekends
quote
"I'm doing all right for myself now but some girls don't get the support or encouragement need. That's where YWCA comes in. I am honoured to be a part of YWCA and you should be too!"
Sharon, YWCA supporter
