We are currently fundraising for our link school in Nigeria - St Michael's Community Primary School, Nanka.
This is the school our Parish Priest, Father Damian, attended as a child. The school made us a video so we could see a typical day at their school. The children are happy and successful but there are many things they need. The Head teacher's biggest wish is running, drinking water for the children. Many of the pupils go all day without a drink of water in extremely hot conditions.
In a joint fundraising effort, with the parishioners of Our Lady & St Benedict we recently succeeded in raising £8000:
Christmas jumper day 2017 £225
Christmas jumper day 2018 £345
Easter Smarties challenge 2019 £250
Summer raffle and summer fair 2019 - £697
