Welcome to Group 170

We are a dynamic, trail-blazing HCPT group from Southampton! We started in 2009 and have gone from strength to strength since then. We have just had a wonderful year in 2012.

Our photo pages have been updated to make it easier to view our photos for all years - visit Photo Diaries to see them...

We currently have about 25 team members as well as lots of supporters, and of course the wonderful children who make our trips to Lourdes so worthwhile. On these pages you can find information about our group, ways in which you can help us and see photos  of some of our previous escapades.

2012: We Are God's Work of Art!

We've been to Lourdes now - we all had a fabulous time and many new friendships were made and experiences had.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped us to get to Lourdes and who helped us while we were out there.

Kyle, Blair, Phi, Charlie, Jack, Molly, Lucy and Jasmine, not only are you God's work of art, you will always be very special to Group 170. Thank you for an amazing pilgrimage holiday.

Parents: If you are a parent who is considering lending us your child for 2012, we suggest you start out with the “Meet Us – Kids” pages to see what previous parents have thought, and then go on to the information about “The Trip” and have a look at the photos of previous years.

Referrers: If you are interested in referring a child to us, have a look at the "Child Referrals" page for an outline of the process.

New Helpers: If you are considering joining our group as a helper, why not start with “Join Us”, and then check out some more information about “The Trip” and have a look at the current group members in “Meet Us”. You can also look back at the kids we have taken with us on previous years "Meet Us - Kids" to see if they are the kind of wonederful folk you'd like to help out.

Supporters: If you would like to help us with fundraising or sponsorship, start out at the “Help Us” pages and then have a general root around to see how lovely we all are and how much we will appreciate your support.
