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 Advent we fundraise for CAFOD.

 

During Lent we fundraise for Salford Diocese (CARITAS) through St Joseph's Penny

 

During Harvest we collect for the  Burnley Women's Refuge.

 

In school we also have an ongoing collection for the Food Bank in Burnley.

 

We also organise other events to raise money for various charities, including Pendleside Hospice, Cancer Research, Children in Need and recently we raised over £1000 to help purchase desks for a school in Ethiopia.

 

Events may include: cake sales, sponsored events, such as a sponsored walk or sponsored spell, non-uniform days etc.

 

LENT

Last year St Joseph's Lenten Appeal (CARITAS) Salford Diocese  raised a staggering £86,874.  This money was all used to help those in need in our local communities.

 

Last year we raised £676.61 and this year we are hoping to raise £700.
