Mary's Meals - Lenten Appeal - Spring 2 2025

Our big Lenten appeal this year is once again in aid of Mary's Meals as we did in 2022

Our focus tables all have Mary's Meals mugs on them to collect any spare change throughout Lent.
Just 10p can buy a child a meal for a day
On Thursday 27th March we will take on our Meal Delivery Event, which house team will deliver the most meals?...

This half term we collected again to support Nugent Care as we did in 2024

We donated any unwanted clothing in donation bags
Recycle for Schools collected our bags, weighed them and provided us with a donation amount
We collected and recycled 139 kg of clothing which meant we could send £41.70 to Nugent Care

We took part in NSPCC Number Day on February 7th

Our parents joined us for a range of Maths activities in class and we dressed or accessorised with numbers
We collected £110!

Our Advent Charity choice was CAFT

We held collection boxes during our Christmas Nativity performances to ask parents and visitors for donations instead of paying for tickets.
Our resource base pupils, staff, and some Year 6 partners visited CAFT for a day trip to learn more
We managed to raise £200!

Year 6 used our Christmas Jumper Day collection to search for CAFOD World Gifts

We raised £115 from our donations
We chose to buy:
- Emergency water - Following an emergency, when families lose everything, drinking water is hard to find. With this fast-acting charity gift, you can make an enormous difference to a family in urgent need.
- Emergency food - This vital charity gift of food can make a huge difference to people in urgent need, including families that have nothing to eat through no fault of their own, following an emergency.
- A back to school gift - Back to school! With this brilliant gift, young people who missed out on an education can learn practical skills, like carpentry, to earn a good living.

Through November we held a Pudsey Raffle to win a large Pudsey Teddy

Our first charity appeal of the new school year was at Harvest time

We collected over 230 boxes of cereal for Widnes Foodbank

In our summer term we raised money for NUGENT CARE

We donated bags of unused clothing, which is recycled and the money we raised we could send to NUGENT Care
We raised £31.40!

This year, our annual Lent Charity walk was in aid of CAFOD

We took part in the BIG LENT WALK on our school field.
This year, our parents joined our walk for the first time
We followed a huge scavenger trail, finding facts about CAFOD's work and the Ichthys Fish symbol
We raised an amazing £375!
