Climate Pilgrimages across the UK
Christian Climate Action • August 17, 2023
Christian Climate Action (CCA) are are inviting people to join a whole host of climate pilgrimages taking place on the same weekend, walking together in a collective push to protect our one and only world.
Date: 9th or 10th September 2023
Location: Your local area across the UK
At this moment, people all over the UK are busy planning climate pilgrimages in their local area. If you would like to organise a pilgrimage near you, let us know about it by contacting ccalocalgroups@gmail.com
CCA can help by:
- Assisting and giving help on a risk assessment from more experienced walkers planners if required
- Running a how-to-do local media session on zoom – watch out for the date
- Holding a central list of pilgrimages so we can direct people to you
CCA have put together a helpful document, full of details such as how to plan the walk, a potential timeline and different things to consider. You can find this document on their website.
