These activities include: - **CAFOD Walk for Water** - **Harvest collections for the local food bank** - **The Poppy Appeal** – Remembrance support - **Macmillan Coffee Morning** - **Rudolph Run** in support of the local hospice - **Easter Coffee Morning**, welcoming local care home residents In addition to this wider charitable work, **St Joseph’s is particularly committed to supporting causes that directly affect members of our own school community**, ensuring that our approach is sensitive, meaningful and purposeful. Through carefully planned **awareness‑raising activities**, opportunities for discussion and reflection, pupils learn the importance of standing alongside others in times of challenge.
