At St. Richard’s we are proud to be working as a school community to achieve the CAFOD Live Simply Award.

To earn this award, we need to show as a school we are living:

  • Simply – how we encourage our families to consume less in our daily lives. Taking the time to be more reflective, prayerful and considerate to others.
  • In solidarity with the poor- being aware that other people might be experiencing difficulties, vulnerabilities, injustice or exclusion.
  • Sustainably with creation- learning ways that can help rebalance our relationship with the environment. Remembering that God gave us this Earth for us to care for.

We already do so much as a school to fulfil these objectives, but this year we have planned some special events which will have a positive impact upon our global, local and school communities e.g. forming links with our local care home; organising litter picks in the local community; raising awareness and money for global issues of poverty and climate change.
