One of our strongest links are with Catholic Care. Our partnership with them began in 2015-16 and has gone from strength to strength. They support some of our most vulnerable children, especially those experiencing ‘loss’ in their lives either through bereavement or other family situations. The work they do to support our young people is essential in building the kingdom and giving our youngsters the chance to experience the very best chances that we can offer them to achieve their full potential. These links have been strengthened during and after the COVOD-19 Pandemic of 2020 and beyond.
There are many organisations listed above that we like to support financially and through awareness raising in our young people. One project that our Mini-Vinnies were pivotally involved in last year was to provide clothes, food, toiletries and baby equipment for the incoming refugees who were being helped by PAFRAS (Positive Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers) which was supported by all the local schools in the Seacroft/Manston Cluster. This group also support the i-Can project which involved all the children in the East Leeds schools donating a can of food/or dried goods for the South Leeds Food Bank. This was hugely successful and is something that we will do annually in Lent.
