10 pilgrimages: 10 forgotten places

During 2022 we organised a series of Pilgrimage on the Margins events in different locations across the UK, each hosted by a local partner church or community organisation.

You can read a full report on the Pilgrimages below, with poems, photos, and stories of hope.

Participate in the Pilgrimage at the Margins where you are

Alongside the 10 ‘national’ Pilgrimages, we wanted to make it possible for any group to undertake their own Pilgrimage at the Margins.

Could you organise a small event to spend a couple of hours, an afternoon or a whole day in a ‘forgotten place’ in your own area, engaging in deep listening to each other, conversation and sharing of stories, and reflecting personally and in small groups together?

One step at a time
We journey onwards with God.
This is pilgrimage.

Say no to these immoral cuts, built on weasel words and spin
