In August 2026 a group of young people from across Liverpool Diocese will be travelling to Ghana to join other young people from Kumasi Diocese and Virginia Diocese for an week long pilgrimage. This is open to anyone who will be at least 14 on 2nd August 2026.
Pilgrims are expected to fundraise £750 towards the trip which is supported by The Triangle of Hope, Diocese of Liverpool, USPG and others. They also need to acquire a VISA, travel insurance, anti-malarial medication and a yellow fever vaccination (total cost approx. £200). The Diocese of Liverpool will be able to help you with all of this if you are granted a place.
There will likely be many more applicants than spaces so please get in touch as soon as possible. There is no application form at this stage – we need a letter addressed to Canon Mal Rogers and sent to Malcolm.rogers@liverpool.anglican.org telling us a little bit about yourself and why you would like to be part of the pilgrimage.
We are able to offer a part bursary where there is acute financial hardship so that no one is prevented from attending due to circumstance. Please do speak to us in confidence about this by contacting Canon Mal as soon as possible, if you would like more information about this.
All those who apply will be asked to attend an information and Q&A event on 22nd March 2026 at 4pm at St Gabriel’s Vicarage in Huyton. After that event, those wishing to continue their application will be invited for a discussion with Youth Pilgrimage leaders who ultimately decide who will be offered places.
Those who attended the youth pilgrimage to the USA in 2025 and have indicated they would like to join the Ghanaian pilgrimage this year have their own arrangements. They do not need to express and interest or attend the event on 22nd March.
Please pray for all those involved in the Triangle of Hope youth pilgrimages here in Liverpool, West Africa and the US.
