Charities

Here at St. Bede’s we have a strong ethos of supporting others in our community and the wider communities. Our children love getting involved and thinking of fundraising events to raise lots of money for really important charities.  We support charities through fundraising and donations, including cake sales, own clothes days and lots more.  Each year we raise money for charities including Nugent Care, Macmillan, Cafod, Poppy Appeal, Widnes Foodbank. 

We really appreciate your support and the help you give your children in raising these funds.  We will keep you up to date with our upcoming charity events and please keep your eyes peeled for total fundraising amounts and pictures!
