Camino Charity

Get Involved

Support Our Work – Donate

We rely on the generosity of our donors to ensure our services are available to those most in need. Donate now and your money will go directly to helping veterans, vulnerable women and young people experience a life-changing trek that helps them overcome trauma, build resilience and self-confidence and learn empathy and compassion for others.

 

The stigma around mental health is a silent killer. With your help, we are changing the lives of those suffering alone – breaking through barriers and connecting them with others who find themselves in the same situation. Your support helps people who have lost their way find purpose, value, and self-belief through the completion of a long-distance trekking challenge.

 

We gratefully accept donations of any amount, large or small. Whether you are making a one-off gift or would like to become a regular supporter of our work, every dollar makes a huge difference to the lives of people suffering from the stress and trauma of conflict, abuse, or prejudice.

 

Your generous support helps us share the vital mental health benefits of the Camino de Santiago with all those who need our help.

Charity Treks – Sponsor Your Camino

Hike the Camino de Santiago for charity and every step you take brings the wellbeing benefits of the experience a little closer to someone in need. Charity treks may be challenging but as well as raising money to champion mental health, they are enormously rewarding for you too.

Choose to make a one-off donation as part of your trip cost, or ask friends and family to sponsor you as you take on the challenge to reach the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela on foot. Either way, your fundraising efforts will facilitate the healing of someone struggling with their mental health.

In return, we’ll be on hand to share our expertise and knowledge of the Camino with you – helping you make the most of a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The Camino Charity is a registered 501(C)(3) non-profit organization working in Spain. Our mission is to help people learn about and experience the healing benefits of a long-distance trek along the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain. We work with veterans, young people, and women’s groups to improve mental health, teach empathy and compassion, and help those who have experienced trauma to find value in life and clarity for the future. Through free-to-access videos and other resources, we also share our expertise and knowledge of the Camino de Santiago with anyone interested in a hiking experience.
