Member benefits

What do you get as a member of the CSJ UK?

I feel part of a big 'community'. 


First and foremost, you will 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.


As a member you are also entitled to:

  • Supporting the work of the CSJ in promoting the Camino
  • Connection to an international community of pilgrims
  • Free pilgrim passport for each member
  • Subscription to our monthly enewsletter
  • Use of our extensive pilgrim library
  • Our biannual members' magazine, The Bulletin
  • Connection to your nearest CSJ Regional Group
  • 12.5% discount at the following outdoor shops:
    cotswold outdoor, snow and rock, and runnersneed logos
  • Discounts to CSJ events
  • Opportunities to volunteer with aspects of the running of the CSJ

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.
