If you sign up to be a member of the CSJ, you are actively helping us to continue our work as a charity of supporting the Camino de Santiago – providing information, encouragement, and support to thousands of pilgrims each year, whether they are setting out for the first time or reflecting on a journey already taken. Your support allows us to run events, maintain our hostels in Spain, publish resources, and offer guidance to all – regardless of background or motivation.

Our members support the work of the only dedicated camino charity in the UK. Your membership allows us to continue to provide advice and reassurance for pilgrims before they go, care and hospitality when they stay in our albergues, and a community of like-minded people to come back to. 

You'll become part of the club! It's often difficult to come back after the camino and try to relay the amazing experience you've had to people who haven't done it themselves. So often we hear the response: "But...it was just a walk, wasn't it?" Becoming a member means you have access to the thousand others who know exactly how you're feeling. 

Help us spread the word about this spiritual and cultural phenomenon and bring the often life-altering experience to as many people as possible!

What I particularly like about my Camino friends is the company of like-minded people who are always on hand to share their experiences, pass on advice, meet up for a chat, and generally give of their time.

To thank our members for their support, we offer:

• Connection to an international community of pilgrims
• Free pilgrim passport for each member (sent automatically with welcome packet for new members and on request for renewing members) - please order this on our shop Members Pilgrim Passport £0 | THE CONFRATERNITY OF SAINT JAMES (csj.org.uk))
• Subscription to our monthly enewsletter
• Use of our extensive pilgrim library
• Our biannual members' magazine, The Bulletin
• Connection to your nearest CSJ Regional Group
• Discounts to CSJ events
• Opportunities to volunteer with aspects of the running of the CSJ
• The knowledge that you are supporting the work of the CSJ in promoting the Camino.

I have made some wonderful friends, got to know a lot of interesting and individual people, had some good long-distance walking abroad and got to know my own strengths and weaknesses better.
