Service and Charity

We promote the children’s awareness of the local and wider communities by encouraging them to participate in acts of service and charitable and fundraising activities. Throughout the year, the children dedicate time and energy into thinking about other groups, in our community and beyond, who might need support.

Charity Support.

The children take part in a number of fundraising activities across the year in order to support people not only in the developing world, but also in our local community. 

At Harvest, we collect and deliver produce to the Food Bank at St. Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls .  

During Advent, we raise money for Charities e.g. Operation Elf. 

We also participate in a 'Reverse Advent', As each door is opened we will put in items of food,
unopened toiletries and Christmas festive food, which will be distributed to those
in our local area who are in need this Christmas.

We also raise money for the Cafod World Gifts campaign through our Christmas activities and participate in the annual "Red Wednesday" appeal, Red Wednesday is organised by an international charity ACN (Aid to the Church in Need  https://acnuk.org/about/ ) which has its headquarters here in Sutton.  Each year they fund over 5,000 projects in more than 140 countries around world, helping to support the Church in its mission, and bringing hope and solidarity to millions of people who are persecuted because of their faith.
