Our generous Notre Dame staff and students have been busy observing Lent recently.
The chaplaincy raised nearly £200 for the CAFOD Lent appeal - enough to buy a GPS fish finder to track fish and find shore in a storm, a cooler to help a Liberian fisher man keep his catch fresh, and a life jacket. Lent Appeal 2024 (cafod.org.uk)
The support staff raised £130 for their departmental charity - Young Minds YoungMinds
The LGBTQ group raised £84.03 for MindOut MindOut | Mental Health Charity for LGBTQ community
A group of students led by George Phillips organised a bake sale for Mount St Joseph Care Home in Headingly that has been badly affected by the presence of RAAC concrete - they raised £55 to help the Little Sisters of the Poor keep the home open until they can safely move the residents to new homes.

Charitable giving is important during Ramadan as it is in Lent - so a group of students ran a 'Ramadan bake sale' on the last day of term for Islamic Relief. Amount to be announced.
Justine Barlow, college Principal said; 'We are so proud of the generosity of our staff and students'.
