Camino de Santiago

Participants will take on the challenge of walking the stunning 117km Portuguese Route over 6 days, through large forests, traditional farmlands, small villages, and historic towns, whilst raising vital funds for the Southern Area Hospice.

The walk takes place from the 5th - 12th July 2023 and places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. This is a great opportunity for teachers who are off in the summer months. 

Una McGivern who completed the Portuguese Route in May for Hospice of this year said, “If you are thinking about taking part in this challenge then just go for it. It is rewarding, and an experience that you will never forget. The fundraising is so needed, and the hospice support was amazing. So, I encourage you to give it ago next year.”

All the money raised through the Camino will help Southern Area Hospice Services to continue to provide invaluable specialist palliative care and support to local people and their families who live primarily within the Southern Trust Area including the main towns in the area are Newry, Armagh, Banbridge, Lurgan, Craigavon and Dungannon.

With a fundraising target of £3.2 million, Southern Area Hospice Services rely heavily on the local community to help them reach their target so they can continue to provide care and support to people at a time when they need it most.
