As a Mercy School, we encourage our children to think of others in thought and in action.

 

We raise funds for a number of charities throughout the year.

 

During Harvest time in October we collected food and essential items for Burnley Together, a charity which supports the needy in our local area.

 

Our Christmas Charity this year was Pendleside Hospice.

We raised £732.95 by holding a Christmas jumper day and collections from the Christmas performances.

 

During Lent we usually fundraise for CARITAS through St Joseph's Penny.

We hold events such as cake sales, non-uniform days and sponsored events in order to support our chosen charities.

 

LENT

Last year St Joseph's Penny Lenten Appeal raised £84,285.  This money was used to support 22 projects in Salford Diocese.

Our school raised £379.31 last year.

 

This year we will be raising money for the CAFOD charity.

 

MARY'S MEALS

We donated 36 Rucksacks and donated £415 in  January 2020.

 

SHOEBOX APPEAL FOR THE ELDERLY

Last Christmas we supported Charter House, Burnley with gift boxes for the elderly in the local area.
