Our Mission

The HCPT takes thousands of children with disabilities or other special needs on a pilgrimage holiday to Lourdes in France. The children travel in small family-style groups with experienced volunteer helpers, doctors, nurses and chaplains. Helpers pay for themselves, but all children are paid for through fundraising by the Trust and by helpers in each group. 


Group 206 takes a mixed group of 6-8 young people each year to Lourdes for a week they will never forget. It cost £720 to take each child in 2011.
