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 interdenominational 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 does Pilgrim Hearts achieve this?

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.

"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."
