CAFOD Club
CAFOD Club Google Classroom Code: 4lkp6ywc
We work closely with the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) and are currently working towards their Live Simply Award.
CAFOD's vision and mission draws directly from Catholic Social Teaching.
Over the last five years CAFOD have been particularly inspired by Pope Francis' encyclical letter Laudato Si'. Pope Francis called us all to respond to both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor in Our Common Home.
'I love being in CAFOD because it gives me the opportunity to share my ideas and opinions, and to be part of something that truly makes a difference.
CAFOD inspires people to care for others in need and teaches us how to be better neighbours to everyone. It feels good to know that what we do helps improve our society and the way people treat each other. We take part in fun activities, organise events, and support charity donations.
Through this, CAFOD encourages us to follow the teachings of Jesus and to love one another by treating everyone with compassion and respect' Annie Y8
Our CAFOD CLUB organise a variety of fund raising activities through the year. In 2024-25 we raised £4187.
We also visit other schools in our Trust to explain about the importance of CAFOD and the work that they do.
To join CAFOD Club, speak to any of the teachers in the RE Department.
