Review of Men’s Hiking Residential Trip
I recently participated in a Men’s Hiking Residential Trip, and I can confidently say it was an incredible experience that exceeded my expectations. Here’s a breakdown of the key aspects:

Staff/Volunteers
The staff and volunteers were fantastic! Their passion for the outdoors and commitment to creating a welcoming environment truly shone through. They were knowledgeable about the trails, offered helpful tips, and were always ready to lend a hand or share a laugh. Their enthusiasm made the entire trip feel more engaging and enjoyable.

Organization
The event was exceptionally well-organized. From the initial planning stages to the daily itineraries, everything was seamless. The hikes were thoughtfully scheduled, allowing for a mix of challenging and more leisurely trails, catering to varying fitness levels. Each day flowed smoothly, and there was always a clear plan in place.

Communication
Communication prior to and during the trip was top-notch. The organizers provided detailed information about what to expect, packing lists, and safety guidelines. Throughout the trip, they maintained open lines of communication, making it easy to ask questions and stay informed about any changes.

Food
The food was a highlight! Each meal was delicious, nutritious, and catered to a variety of dietary needs. From hearty breakfasts to satisfying dinners around the nature , every dish was well-prepared and fueled us for our hikes. Sharing meals together also fostered a sense of community among participants.

Mental and Physical Health Benefits
This hike was a transformative experience for my mental and physical health. The physical challenge of hiking through stunning landscapes pushed my limits, which felt rewarding and invigorating. The fresh air and beautiful surroundings had a calming effect on my mind, allowing me to disconnect from daily stresses and reconnect with myself.

The camaraderie formed during the trip was invaluable. Sharing stories and experiences with fellow participants helped create deep, meaningful connections. There’s something special about bonding over shared challenges and breathtaking views that fosters lasting friendships.

Overall, this hiking trip was not just about the physical journey; it was a holistic experience that rejuvenated my spirit and deepened my appreciation for nature. I left feeling more connected to both the natural world and the people around me. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to enhance their well-being and make lasting connections!

This was my first walk with the lovely team at Yuvanis. It was really well managed and led. It was so nice walking and discovering Shaw and meeting new, friendly faces and also some old faces which was a nice surprise. It was an enjoyable and easy walk for beginners. The waterfall at the end was beautiful and worth all the steps! And the chat and tea was the icing on the cake. I look forward to more walks with yuvanis in future and highly recommend to all 😊

I really enjoyed our walk this is the 1st time I have joined a small walking group and I would definitely recommend this place for 1st time walkers. Going on small walks like this not only lets you explore little wonders that are close to where we live but also gets you out in the fresh air and most importantly helps with your mental health to be able to make new friends and have adult conversations especially those that can’t get out much due to commitments at home. Shahira and Shahela the group leaders were extremely helpful and made sure everyone was ok throughout the walk. I’m not a very active person and was dreading the walk the minute I signed up but I was surprised at how much I actually liked the whole experience

I attended the Men's Hiking Resedential Trip organised by Yuvanis Foundation, Aspire Burnley & Become United.

It was a weekend away with close friends, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Not only did I enjoy the company of my friends, but I also had the chance to meet new people, which made the trip even more special.

The place we stayed was absolutely fantastic. The food was delicious, and the facilities were top-notch. The staff and volunteers provided excellent service, making us feel welcome and well-cared for throughout our stay.

One of the highlights of the weekend was the well-organised activities. The hiking, in particular, was an amazing way to connect with nature, bond with old friends, and make new connections. The cherry on top was the perfect weather, which made the outdoor activities even more enjoyable.

Overall, I would definitely do it again and highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a refreshing and well-organised getaway!

Thank you Yuvanis Foundation, Aspire Burnley & Become United for this amazing experience.

Attended the hiking residential with Yuvanis Foundation. It was a fantastic week-end, very well organised, met new people from different walks of life to not only enjoy the amazing natural beauty of the lake district but also engage in activities and enlightening discussions. The food quality and variety was excellent. Great thought was given to make sure that all the participant were looked after. The venue was an absolute hit, stunning views over Lake Windermere. The staff at the YHA were very welcoming and accommodating, made us feel very welcome throughout the stay. The hike was just right, not too long for us new hikers and walk through the forest was breathtaking. Brilliantly organised by the Yuvanis and their co-organisers. Really looking forward to the next one!

I've been attending the Mums and Tots group and I've loved it. Being a first time mum can be incredibly isolating, but the support and love from like-minded mums here is invaluable. Coming here on a weekly basis is refreshing and it's something I look forward to each week. It's something that has kept me sane and has provided me with some much-needed social stimulation, which has worked wonders for my own mental health as a first time mum.
