Weekly lunches organised by a local church throughout Lent raised £433.50 for the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD).
The lunches were held on the five Fridays during Lent at St George’s Church Hall and consisted of homemade soups with bread and cheese. Funds were raised through donations and a charity raffle.
“This was a wonderful amount of money to raise whilst we had a lovely lunch in great company,” said Deacon Terry Aspell from St George’s Catholic Church. “It’s definitely something we’ll be doing again next year.”
CAFOD is the official overseas aid agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. The charity supports people struggling due to conflict, the climate crisis, inequality and injustice. It helps communities in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East find practical, sustainable solutions to deep-rooted challenges.
