More about Pilgrim Hearts Trust
Our Mission Statement
Pilgrim Hearts is there to assist those on the edge and those who for whatever reason are not able to benefit from all of life's opportunities.
We are a Christian organisation devoted to helping marginalised people, and those with disabilities, from all walks of life and from all backgrounds, races, and religions to reach their full potential and to explore their gifting and worth through the use of the creative arts.
We provide assistance to other organisations and community groups both in the voluntary and public sector.
WHAT IS PILGRIM HEARTS?
Pilgrim Hearts is an inter-denominational Christian charity which utilises creative arts to open up the hearts of all. Our work has reached many who previously had not been awakened to the fact that Christianity relates to each of us, how we face the challenges of our every day living, and how we associate with each other. Pilgrim Hearts Trust was started in 2000 as a registered charity.
HOW THIS IS ACHIEVED
With access to a vast range of creative artists, Pilgrim Hearts is able to take
their work into schools, exhibition centres, churches, women's refuges, prisons
and many other venues. Our work has enlightened the lives of those with little
self-worth, experience physical and mental damage, feel abandoned, or simply
those who have never had the opportunity to gain an insight to how Christianity
works within each of us.

Women's Christian Centre Manager, Marion Low.
"One
mum said that she went home happy, and was happy all evening and through the
night. She explained that she doesn't normally feel like that; the reason for it
was that she had let herself go and had felt she had been herself for the very
first time.
Another mum said she had never laughed so much."

Burnham.
