About Group 3

Every Easter, HCPT Group 3 take around 10 children with special needs from Cheltenham and Gloucestershire, on a week’s holiday of a life time to Lourdes, France. 

​

Founded in 2004, HCPT Group 3 is very much a “broad church” - gathering people of all faiths and some with no faith at all. Our holiday puts FUN at every turn - as the photos illustrate! As described by past children and helpers, a week with Group 3 is truly a life-changing experience: full of new friends, pure joy, laughter and building confidence!

ABOUT GROUP 3

About HCPT

HCPT Group 3 is part of the wider organisation called HCPT The Pilgrimage Trust; a Christian charity that takes over 1000 disabled and disadvantaged children and 4000 helpers from across the world to Lourdes at Easter each year.

​

Alongside this, each summer, over 1,500 people - many of them disabled adults - enjoy a week at HCPT’s Hosanna House in Bartrès, near Lourdes. 

 

HCPT is a Catholic charity and its services are open to all, regardless of their faith.

About the Pig

Since we take children from Gloucestershire, a Gloucester Old Spot pig seemed fitting!
