I’m walking the Via Francigena and I am taking the opportunity to raise funds for the Salvation Army and in particular the wonderful work they do for the Homeless. The Via Francigena is a 1200 mile pilgrimage walk from Canterbury  to Rome. I'm starting on the 1st of October and covering the 750 miles from Switzerland to Rome. You can follow me  @nickyork61 on Twitter for updates on my journey. After so many false starts and postponements due to Covid I’m raring to go. 

The Salvation Army is a Christian Church & registered Charity working in 130 countries worldwide and is one of the largest and most diverse providers of social welfare in the world. In the UK and Republic of Ireland this work includes more than 800 Salvation Army social service centres and community churches. We provide unconditional friendship, support and very practical help to people in crisis and need and work with children, homeless people, all adult victims of modern slavery and those dealing with drug and/or alcohol addiction.
