Whatever your route, your distance, or your destination, join us for a special pilgrimage this year and raise funds for the Pilgrims’ Friend Society Hummingbirds.

Our Hummingbirds are an integral part of the care we offer to those living with dementia. They are members of our team who are specifically employed to spend time and connect with those living with dementia by moving from person to person, providing short, meaningful connections.

They might use a memory prompt such as a ball or piece of string to help the older person reconnect for a moment, or they might sing or read a short passage of Scripture.
If you'd like a hard copy of the guide, please get in touch with the Support Office on 0300 303 1403 or by emailing info@pilgrimsfriend.org.uk
