The Mini Vinnies hosted their first coffee morning today after Mass.  The children made some delicious cakes and brought in some great prizes for the Tombola stall.

After setting up the church hall in preparation for the coffee morning, the Mini Vinnies attended Mass and then were put to work!  The morning was a huge success, with the Mini Vinnies raising £134.42 towards repairs for the church roof.

Everyone had a fantastic day and Fr Bill was thrilled with the money raised! Well done Mini Vinnies!!!

In the Autumn term, we asked for children to volunteer to become Mini Vinnies.  We were astounded by the huge number of applications received from our KS2 children.  It was so difficult to choose between the thoughtful applications of those children wanting to make a difference in their community, so, with over 40 applications, we decided to run 2 Mini Vinnies’ groups.  Here they are being commissioned today.

The Year 6 Mini Vinnies excelled themselves with their first fundraiser of the school year – the Go Green for CAFOD Bake Sale.  The Year 6 children produced some delicious cakes, cup cakes, tray bakes and chocolate dipped apples for everyone to enjoy.  Supporting them with hungry enthusiasm and generous donations, the rest of the school tucked into the tasty treats.

A huge thank you to everyone for making the Bake Sale such a huge success – we had fun and raised £151.36 for CAFOD!  Amazing!!
