Lent Fundraising Project for Glass Door

Our school community is currently planning our Lenten fundraising project. This year, we will be extending our support to a local Homeless charity - Glass Door. Glass Door’s caseworkers provides expert advice to those in need. They work tirelessly to support and help individuals access healthcare, secure identification, find employment, escape modern slavery and most importantly access a permanent pathway out of homelessness.  

Glass Door relies solely on donations from individuals, corporations, schools, community groups, churches, etc. The money we raise will not only support people experiencing homelessness, but also ensures that Glass Door can sustain and provide homeless people in London, with stability, support and ultimately a pathway out of homelessness. 

We are organising a whole school fayre on the afternoon of Tuesday 25th March. The students were keen to have a strong focus on the impact that 'fast fashion' has on the environment and came up with the idea to having an Upcycled Fashion Show, where we hope every form will participate by cat- walking one or two outfits that they, as a form, have revived.  Another idea they were keen to implement, on our fundraising day will be Swap Shop.  Here the request is for student to have a sort through their wardrobe and find two items of clothing they are happy to part with. 

In the past, we have been overwhelmed by your generosity; so, once again, we reach out to our whole school community, asking, for your support as we aim to raise funds for such a worthwhile cause.

The Pope invites us to reflect on our pilgrim journey through the 'pastoral cycle' of ‘see, judge, act’. This methodology ties in with our SH goals of Social Awareness that impels to Action and Building Community. Throughout this Lenten season – we can make a start by trying to understand issues of injustice and take action to bring about change in the light of our Christian values.

Any donations can be paid on line using the link below and will be greatly received.
