Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Lenten support of the Catholic Children’s Society. During Lent, we can try to become closer to God through prayer, fasting, and giving to others. Every year we traditionally support the Catholic Children’s Society (CCS) and during recent difficult times some of our families have really appreciated the help they have received from the CCS. Inspired by the Jubilee Year, our theme for this year’s Lent Appeal was ‘Become Pilgrims of Hope’. Following a special assembly led by the Catholic Children’s’ Society to explain the importance of their work and how the money raised supports disadvantaged families, each pupil was given a collection box. Through a combination of collection boxes and own clothes day donations, we raised £425.84, and were sent a lovely letter explaining how this money could help those in need.
‘…Your fundraising brings hope and relief to families in desperate situations and reminds them that they are not alone.’
