This year's Pilgrimage Stroll Against Poverty took place on 15 October. Organised as part of the UN International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, Tish Mason of the Surrey Heath Coalition Against Poverty arranged another group visit to the pauper burial areas of the cemetery. Tim Dodds, Mayor of Surrey Heath, also attended the stroll. The group visited part of the pauper burial sections before moving on to the Cemetery Chapel for short service to remember those who live and die in poverty across the world. As in previous years the purpose of the visit is to remember those who died in poverty, to show solidarity with people living in poverty, and to find out how to help those in poverty. The Brookwood Cemetery Society supported the event by providing refreshments before and after the walk, and having its sales and information stand open. After the walk, participants were invited to a Creative Workshop for families at the Frimhurst Family House, Guildford Road, Frimley Green.
