Ancient Connections is delighted to announce the appointment of a partnership of organisations who will collaborate to manage the new pilgrim route between St Davids, Pembrokeshire and Ferns in County Wexford. The partnership is led by The British Pilgrimage Trust, joined by Pilgrim Paths of Ireland, Journeying and Guided Pilgrimage.

The British Pilgrimage Trust are advertising two new Pilgrimage Officer jobs, one for Pembrokeshire and one for Wexford.

British Pilgrimage Trust Project Leader Dawn Champion said:

“To support this project, we’re excited to be able to offer full-time jobs for two Pilgrimage Officers, one in Wexford and one in Pembrokeshire. These pilgrimage officers will have a rare professional opportunity to inspire people, pilgrims, communities and businesses to access the benefits of pilgrimage. The pilgrimage route will create a lasting legacy for both of these remarkable pilgrim destinations by regenerating communities, attracting pilgrims and delivering a long-lasting modern cultural tradition.

We’re looking for two special people who know the area and its people well, to design and deliver a full and inspiring pilgrimage programme by engaging with people from all communities, and building community and volunteer-led action.”
