The British Province of Carmelite Friars
Opportunities
for helping
The pilgrimage relies on volunteer
pilgrims – brancardiers and handmaids (male/female general
helpers), nurses,
doctors, child-carers – who accompany pilgrims in need of
assistance (such as medical care and mobility), or who are willing
to join the music group.
We welcome health-care professionals as well as those with no prior experience. All helpers are expected to complete a Criminal Records Bureau check.
Young helpers (aged 17 - 25) are eligable for a subsidised fare and should click here for more information. Further financial help may be available to young helpers and health care professionals from the Carmelites. Please contact the Carmelite Pilgrimage Director for more information.
