St Edmund’s Catholic Academy’s annual charity walk and litter pick event took place on Friday 21st July. It was heartwarming to see the school and the community coming together to raise funds for deserving charities, chosen by our students, and promote environmental stewardship. This year parents and carers were also invited to join in the fun.
The chosen charities for the event, are as follows:
1. Local Charity: Let Us Play
2. National Charity: Promise Dreams
3. International Charity: Action Against Hunger
By supporting these charities, the school is not only making a positive impact on the local community but also contributing to national and international causes. It’s great to see parents, carers, and even the local Police being involved, which makes the event even more special and inclusive.
Such events play a crucial role in promoting awareness about social and environmental issues while instilling values of compassion and empathy in the students and the community at large
“If the simple fact of being human moves people to care for the environment of which they are a part, Christians in their turn realise that their responsibility within creation, and their duty towards nature and the Creator, are an essential part of their faith.” Pope Francis, Laudato Si
