As a Mercy School, we encourage our children to think of others in their thoughts and in their actions.

 

We raise funds or collect donations for various charities throughout the year.

 

At Harvest time this year, we collected food and essential items for Burnley Community Grocery, a charity which supports the needy in our local area.

 

Our Christmas Charity last year was Pendleside Hospice.

We raised £732.95 by holding a Christmas Jumper day and collections at our Christmas performances.

 

During Lent this year, we supported the national charity Read for Good by raising £760 for books for children in hospital.  We also raised £417.05 for a special project in Ethiopia.

 

In Autumn 2023,  we have fundraised for the national charity - Children with Cancer UK - by holding a cake sale and having a pyjama day.  We were thrilled to send them £572.94.

 

Food Bank

We also have an ongoing collection for local foodbanks which our School Council co-ordinates.
