The British Pilgrimage Trust is a charity, formed in 2014, dedicated to renewing pilgrimage in Britain (Registered Charity 1176045). Our core goal remains to "advance British pilgrimage as a form of cultural heritage that promotes holistic wellbeing, for the public benefit." ‘Holistic wellbeing' includes physical, mental, emotional, social, community, environmental and spiritual health, and we aim to make these benefits accessible to wide new audiences. Pilgrimage has the potential to promote community and diversity in Britain's spiritual landscape.Much of the core infrastructure is already in place – off-road footpaths, under-used churches, pubs and village shops. We simply need to join the dots…The BPT believes that pilgrimage in Britain today should not attempt to imitate medieval forms of religious exclusivity. Instead, the tradition can be renewed to fit with modern needs. To this end, the BPT aims to help pilgrimage become a spiritual activity that is Open to All, whatever your beliefs, background, age or physical ability.
