Hello, I’m Thomas, and I’m reaching out to share an exciting opportunity that means a great deal to me. I am raising funds to volunteer on a life-changing pilgrimage to Lourdes, France, with the Hosanna House Children's Pilgrimage Trust (HCPT) in April 2026.

Each Easter, HCPT brings together over 1,000 children with additional and social needs for a week of joy, support, and unforgettable experiences. As part of Group 187, I’ll be helping RAF-affiliated children who face learning difficulties, medical needs, or social challenges. Our group offers a safe, fun environment packed with activities like rounders, arts and crafts, mountain excursions, and even a trip to the zoo—all designed to create lasting memories.

The success of this trip relies heavily on dedicated volunteers like me, who provide care on a minimum two-to-one basis. While we are primarily from the RAF, we welcome individuals from all walks of life, regardless of religious beliefs. Together, we create a nurturing atmosphere where these amazing children can thrive.

2026 is particularly special as it marks HCPT’s 70th anniversary—a milestone that makes this pilgrimage even more extraordinary. I am passionate about making a positive impact in these children's lives, and I can’t do it without your support.

Your contributions will go directly towards covering the costs of my journey, ensuring that I can be there to provide the care and support these children deserve. Any amount you can donate will help bring us closer to creating unforgettable experiences for these kids.

Thank you for considering supporting my mission. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
