St Sigfrid’s Trust Trustees’ Report for 2021-22
As with the previous year, Covid adversely affected or rendered impossible activities in which the Trust had hoped to be involved. Again, the visit of Oxford Curates to Växjö Diocese for the ‘Getting to Know the Swedish Church’ programme had to be cancelled and other visits the Trust might have supported could not be made. It was possible, however, for the St Sigfrid’s Way Pilgrimage from York to Växjö to be walked in (delayed) celebration of the 850[th] anniversary of the founding of the Diocese of Växjö. This was a co-operative endeavour on the part of the dioceses of Växjö, Göteborg, Skara and Oxford (as well as the Trust), from which entities some financial support for participants was forthcoming. All of the Trust’s operational expenditure this year was in relation to this Pilgrimage. A small amount of income was derived from sales of a booklet on the walking of the Pilgrimage.
Work began on a physical guidebook to the St Sigfrid’s Way and it is hoped that this will in due course be offered for sale via the website.
