This will be our fourth and possibly final foreign pilgrimage to raise funds for UNCLE (which stands for Uplifting Nepal’s Children with Love and Education). Alan, Jennie and Paul will walk the Portuguese Camino from Porto in Portugal to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. This pilgrim route is 197 miles long and is significant as the route the body of St James took to his burial place in Santiago. To complete the walk, we have allowed ourselves four weeks from 22nd September to 20th October 2025.

This will be our tenth long distance walk, at home and abroad, since 2015. Having set ourselves a big challenge we hope to raise an equally big sum for UNCLE and are aiming for a target of £2,000.

In 17 years as a charity, UNCLE has built a church in Southern Nepal, supported two orphanages in Kathmandu, meeting all their living, medical and educational expenses, we have helped with the aftermath of an earthquake and rebuilt an orphanage damaged by it. Most recently we have helped a community suffering severe flood damage. Financially we have raised and spent more than £450,000 ….yet the needs remain, and we will continue, with your help, to do our best to meet them.

Every penny you donate to UNCLE will go to give the Nepali children practical support and a place to live. Please help. Thank you.
