Walk for Missio!

About Missio

We are the Pope’s official charity for world mission, supporting missionaries to work alongside communities in need around the world.

   

Why walk for Missio 

'How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring Good News’

When you walk with Missio, you walk with the world – with the poorest, with the most marginalised; with all those of our global family most in need of the Good News of Christ. Walking a pilgrimage is an incredibly fitting way to support us – with a ‘heart on fire and feet on the move’, our amazing supporters are each a mission in the world, enabling missionaries to bring help, hope, and Good News to all our sisters and brothers in need.


How you can help the people we serve 

You can set up a Just Giving page and choosing Missio as the charity you want to support (you can also find us here: https://justgiving.com/missio).

We’d love to help you promote your fundraising – please find all the ways to contact us at https://missio.org.uk/contact-missio/ 

   

How to organise a group pilgrimage to support our work

We’re delighted you’re thinking of planning a pilgrim walk for Missio! Organising a pilgrimage is such a rewarding experience, and we want to support you in having a safe and enjoyable event. These group pilgrimage resources on the Hearts in Search of God website are a great place to start. If your group is likely to include children or vulnerable adults, please refer to our Safeguarding Policy: https://missio.org.uk/missio-safeguarding-policy/
