HCPT Group 170 is a Southampton based group taking children aged 7-11 on free pilgrimage holiday to Lourdes at Easter. Our helpers are all volunteers and pay their own fares or fundraise for them, but we also raise all the money for the children's fares to enable them to enjoy a once in a lifetime experience on holiday without their parents.

Each year we need approximately £10,000 to pay the children's fares, the coach to the airport, excursions whilst we are in Lourdes and equipment to help with fun and games whilst we are there! In 2025 we updated our JustGiving target as after ten years we have almost reached the original £10,000 goal.
