Story
HCPT Group 102 is part of the international children’s charity HCPT- The
Pilgrimage Trust.
The aim of the Trust is to take disadvantaged children on a week long Pilgrimage
to Lourdes every Easter. Group 102 is based in the south Wales valleys and each
year takes up to 10 young people from the local community. Often this is
the only opportunity they will get to have a meaningful holiday, and provide
essential respite care for their parents. The young people we take are
supported by up to 15 helpers including many Sixth Form pupils from a local
secondary school. HCPT helps volunteers to be fully involved in their
local community and allow disabled and disadvantaged young people to gain
self-esteem and to feel part of the community in which they live.
Every year it costs £750 to take a young person to Lourdes. In order to
fund the Pilgrimage to Lourdes we must raise at least £10,000 per year.
On behalf of HCPT group 102 we ask that you donate what you can so that many
more children can enjoy the HCPT experience. We will keep you in our
prayers and hope you will think of us during Easter Week.
