Mini Vinnies 2023/2024
This year, our Mini Vinnies are getting up to lots of exciting things. In the Autumn term they worked hard to collect food for the St Vincent de Paul food bank on York Road. They were lucky enough to be shown around the centre by volunteer Lenorah and stayed for tea and biscuits with the centre manager.
Our Spring term will see another collection taking place. As we approach Easter, we will be asking for Easter eggs as part of the collection. We will be hand delivering these to the centre again. When we visited, Lenorah told us that people tend to collect a lot around Christmas but that they desperately need collections all year round. We thought we would make a small difference by doing this.
In the Summer term we are going to be collecting clothes and toys for the centre as well as reaching out to the people in our Parish with letters and asking them if they would like to join us for a picnic.
In addition to our own activities, we help all year round in school to show others the way to Jesus. During Lent for example we are leading others around our prayer stations to help them to understand how to be close to God.
