Fundraising for CAFOD (Catholic Agency For Overseas Development)

Our lenta charity this in 2024 was CAFOD. Pupils received a CAFOD envelope to save money they would normally spend on sweets and other treats. A member of CAFOD came and addressed the children about the essential work of the organisation during a whole school assembly. This helped us all recognise where the money we raise is going and also showed who and how the funds are helping through the work of the charity.

We encouraged the children to participate in:

• Raising funds for an important charitable cause
• Practising a Lenten discipline

The children also take part in a variety of charity events throughout the year such as Show Racism the Red Card where the children will wore red to school on Friday 20th of October and donated what they found affordable to the cause. We also request food donations for the local food bank at Harvest and Christmas.

The School Council will discuss and help organise charitable events to raise money for local charities and our school in each big term.
