Fundraising for the wider community

The Saint Cecilia’s Family supported each other and the wider community in so many ways during the first term.

Our Little Sleep Out event has so far raised an enormous £3,880 for Crisis at Christmas. Just £28 gets a homeless person off the streets for a week over the Christmas period. This means that we gave 132 homeless people some respite from the cold over the festive period.

Our Sixth Form took part in Football Shirt Friday - a nationwide campaign raising money for Cancer Research UK and the Bobby Moore Bowel Cancer Fund. Everyone really enjoyed wearing their football tops into school and we raised £160 for an excellent cause.

The official school Christmas cards featuring the design by Amy in Year 10, raised £183.65 to support our local Home Café, who have been working closely with Earlsfield Foodbank to provide for those in need during the pandemic. Our contribution helped them gather items for Christmas hampers for families in need to provide them with luxuries many of us take for granted.

Sixth Formers and Staff donned Christmas Jumpers at the end of term and raised £161 for Save the Children Fund.

Trolley-loads full of food was donated for local charity KICC the Open Door Charity which was made into Christmas hampers for local families, including our own. And four car-loads full of warm clothes, sleeping bags and toiletries were handed in to the school. These were driven to YMCA in Wimbledon and will be distributed to homeless people and people living in temporary accommodation. They were so grateful for our donations.

And finally, we have collected close to £2,000 for our Hardship Fund to help Saint Cecilia’s families in need. Thank you for all your generous donations and do please get in touch f we can help you through this Fund.

THANK YOU!!
