'the advancement of religion','the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage','any other purpose that may reasonably be regarded as analogous to any of the preceding purposes'
Across organises pilgrimages of a lifetime to the Catholic Marian Shrine of Lourdes in South West France for those needing special care. People who are sick and disabled (whom we call VIPs) are taken to Lourdes, accompanied by a doctor, nurses, a priest and helpers by Jumbulance: a unique vehicle with ambulance status, specially constructed to carry our VIPs. Priority is given to those in terminal illness, those with progressive diseases and those whose medical conditions make it impossible or impractical to use conventional means of transport. Across aims to enable the pilgrims to participate in a spiritual experience, while also enjoying holiday activities and the company of others in changed surroundings.
Objectives: To relieve sickness and suffering and to advance religion.
