Answer as many or as few of these as you like, bearing in mind that the more answers we receive, the more accurately we can support pilgrims in Britain by making the practice as open, accessible and attractive as possible.

We'll also use anonymised responses and statistical analysis in our funding applications, spreading the word about pilgrimage, and contributing to research on pilgrimage. To do this, we may need to share anonymised information with third-parties, such as academic researchers, funders and major donors, our partnering organisations and the media.

Rest assured, we will not share non-anonymised personal information such as names, email addresses or other contact information.
