The Connection Pilgrimage 2026 - Walking to change lives

Doreen Ryan is raising money for The Connection at St Martin-in-the-Fields

Pilgrimage 2026 · 22 May 2026 to 25 May 2026 ·

The 36th 74-mile Annual Pilgrimage organised by The Connection at St. Martins, walking from St. Martins in London to Canterbury Cathedral is back. Taking place over the late May Bank Holiday Weekend - Friday 22nd May - Monday 25th May 2026.

Story

I am embarking on a journey from London to Canterbury from 22nd to 25th May 2026 as part of Pilgrimage 2026, a walk dedicated to supporting The Connection at St Martin-in-the-Fields. This incredible charity works tirelessly to transform the lives of people sleeping rough on the streets of London, offering them hope and vital support.

Every step I take is a step towards making a real difference. For every £100 raised, The Connection can provide two people with a safe place to stay for the night, offer an ‘Art is Therapy’ session that benefits up to 20 individuals experiencing homelessness, or serve 50 hot meals to those in need. These services are lifelines that bring comfort and dignity to some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

I invite you to join me in this cause by donating generously. Your support will directly fund these essential services and help change lives for the better. Together, we can bring warmth, care, and hope where it is needed most. Let’s make The Connection Pilgrimage 2026 not just a walk but a powerful movement for change. Our target is as much as you can afford to donate so my target is £500+ — every contribution counts and is deeply appreciated.

Many Thanks and Blessings.
