Become a pilgrim against poverty
In 1999, thousands of people supported CAP’s Pilgrimage Against Poverty as it travelled the length of the country, from Iona to London. 10 years on, join the pilgrimage again.
On Saturday 17 October 2009, there will be pilgrimage walks in many cities, with church services and campaigning actions. They will raise awareness and funds for the vital work done by CAP and by local projects.
We hope that veterans of the 1999 Pilgrimage will take part, together with plenty of new Pilgrims Against Poverty.
