We’re delighted that you’ve chosen to become a Friend of the BPT: doing so not only gives you a number of exclusive benefits, but it also supports us in our work. We are currently focusing on…
Gather pilgrimage routes around Britain on our website’s directory, both older and newly formed routes.
.
Produce and make available digital maps that can be accessed free of charge via smartphones that make use of a phone’s GPS capability to tell you where you are.
.
Provide free of charge templates for anyone to create their own route and host their own guided pilgrimage event.
.
Run our Sanctuary Project, helping pilgrims seek, and local communities provide, sleeping sanctuary at a reasonable price that will generate income for the local community.
.
Grow our new Old Way Pilgrimage from Southampton to Canterbury – a 250-mile pilgrimage route discovered on a C14th map.
.
Open up pilgrimage in Britain by reaching out to as many different communities as we can to make pilgrimage more accessible and Open to All.
.
Partner with organisations like English Heritage, National Churches Trust, Association of English Cathedrals, and other nature-based organisations.
.
Develop our plans to introduce pilgrimage as a new but ancient rite of passage for schoolchildren – especially for those children who may never have walked in the countryside before, or those who are going through a difficult time.
