The Parish CAFOD Group
The Parish of St Joseph has supported CAFOD for many years. The group was run for around a decade by Honor and Alan Franks. Over the years we have campaigned for poverty alleviation, access to clean water, action on climate change and an end to hunger. We also raise money for CAFOD through our Fairtrade stalls, soup lunches, chocolate tasting mornings and Fast Day appeals. We’ve always received a lot of support from the parishioners both at St Joseph’s and St Michael’s and we’re very grateful for your generosity.
Walk for Water 2021
UPDATE FROM HANNAH & KATE: “We’ve completed the Walk for Water and we’ve raised £673 – far beyond our original target of £250! We’ve been so inspired by your generosity, and your support really encouraged us to keep walking. With your kind donations, CAFOD can fund bikes for water engineers to service water pumps, provide families with water containers and buy safe water for schools. All this will make a huge difference to people who currently have to walk miles to access clean water. Thank you so much.”
