What you'll gain

Make new friends, walk in amazing places and know that you’re helping people – just three of the great reasons that people are motivated to volunteer. Leading for HF Holidays enables you to be part of an outstanding team, helping to deliver exceptional holiday experiences to more than 60,000 guests every year. We couldn’t do it without you.

  • Additional training opportunities
  • Pre-planned walk routes that are risk assessed
  • All resources, from maps to equipment
  • A dedicated office team to support all aspects of the holiday
  • The flexibility to choose to lead different holiday durations, from a 3-Night short break to a 14-Night Trail

By getting involved you get

  • To discover more of the great outdoors
  • To explore new destinations or revisit old favourites
  • To choose where, when and how often you lead
  • To learn new skills
  • To keep fit and active
  • To make new friends with similar interests
  • To help people achieve their goals
