About
About Us
A Charitable Force
We help people rebuild life after injury through practical support and a strong community
Pilgrim Bandits know that adversity, challenges and obstacles serve to strengthen the human spirit. But for some of those we support, just to smile or enjoy the company of others, is an almost insurmountable task.
We endeavour to get them to believe in a life worth living again. Through Pilgrim Bandits they push to new limits. They help others. They inspire children and young people by working with schools and care centres.
The Pilgrim Bandits will never ask for your charity… but we will ask for your support.
More Than a Mantra
‘Always a Little Further’ is how we show up by inspiring young people with resilience, humour and belief.
We work directly with injured Military and Emergency Services personnel providing access to:
- Grants and equipment to support recovery and day-to-day independence
- A community that gets it with belonging, humour and forward momentum
- Challenges and expeditions that rebuild confidence and resilience
- Support that helps you rebuild, step by step
The Pilgrim Bandits don’t do sympathy. We offer belonging, straight-talking encouragement, and a team around you when your confidence has taken a hit. We choose humour over pain and action over pity.
This is about moving forward together, with pride and purpose.
