Now
The Coat is currently walking to Colchester.
Details below
The Coat’s pattern of life is to walk for a number of days and then to stay in a place -on display or undergoing creative repair - until a group of pilgrims is able to walk it on again.
When it is waking you can see where it is walking to and from each day below.
We are committed to keep the Coat walking and working whilst the climate and ecological situation remains an emergency.

SUPPORT
As the work of the Coat of Hopes continues, we do have some running costs to cover, such as this website, costs relating to travel and display and upkeep of the coat. Nobody involved is working for anything, but out of love!
If you felt able to contribute anything towards these costs it will enable the continuation of sharing the Coat of Hopes.
