Last year during Lent, the school community began collecting for Trocaire. During the short period in school we managed to raise £190 for Trocaire. A cheque has been sent to Trocaire (Belfast Office) this morning. Thanks to all of the school community for collecting so much in such a short period.
Sadly we were unable to support the Shoebox appeal this year due to Covid. However the Education Authority are asking schools to think about supporting: 'The Christmas Family Appeal’
EA LETTER TO PRINCIPALS-
We are delighted to be supporting the Christmas Family Appeal again this year. Last year you generously raised over 2300 toys for this Appeal as part of an EA wide campaign. While the world has changed in the last 12 months, the need hasn't. In fact the need is greater now more than ever. This year’s Appeal is very different from any that the charities (Salvation Army and St Vincent de Paul) have managed in the appeal’s 40+ year history due to the impact of COVID-19. However, the charities and EA remain committed to ensuring that no child or young person in Northern Ireland wakes up without a gift under their tree on Christmas morning and your support is crucial in helping us achieve this. A new approach Due to restrictions the charities are encouraging online monetary donations for gift vouchers to empower parents and guardians to choose gifts for those in need themselves. By making a donation before Tuesday, 15 December 2020 to our Christmas Family Appeal you will help us make this Christmas as ‘magical’ as it can be for all our children and young people.

Your donation big or small is very gratefully received and will make such a difference.
