Since 1956, HCPT has offered life-changing week-long pilgrimage holidays to Lourdes, France, for disabled and disadvantaged people. HCPT is a charity with its roots in the Catholic faith. We have a vision of "changing lives through pilgrimage, sharing God's gifts of love, friendship and joy". People come from all walks of life, and from all faiths and none.

Group 580 are a new summer group based in the North east Region and 2024 will be our first year traveling, We take children and adults with disabilities and also social and emotional needs to Lourdes, staying at Hosanna House during the summer for one week. Our group is ran by volunteers who dedicate their time to support, care and work with the people we take and their families.Group 580 covers the cost of each beneficiary, which is roughly £1000. The money raised will go towards supporting us on our journey to Lourdes this summer.

Your donations will ensure that our Summer Group can offer places to families and offer a fantastic opportunity to travel with such an amazing group of people.
