to Caritas Ambassador
At St Joseph's RC Primary School our Caritas Ambassadors are a selection of students from Year 4,5 and 6 supported by Miss Barry and Mrs Barry.
Our Caritas Ambassadors put their faith into practical action. They are responsible for developing outreach work and supporting local charities. They will be a voice for change and social action.
Caritas Ambassadors bring the love of God to others through their actions. Caritas Ambassadors are showing us all, by example, how we can make our world a better place.
We are proud of our Caritas Ambassadors and their mission in school and the local community.
Our Caritas Ambassadors are recognised by their red ambassador badge.

The Caritas Ambassadors explained to each class that we were taking part in 'The Penny Appeal' to raise money for Rossendale Hospice. Each child was given a cardboard money box to fill and return to school.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Our Caritas Ambassadors helped to hold a Macmillan Coffee Morning. We invited our children and their families to join us for cake and tea. The Caritas Ambassadors helped to serve cake. They also held a guessing game and a quiz. We raised over £300!!
The Raft Foundation
The Raft Foundation were invited into school to speak to the children about what they do at the foodbank. Michelle and Helen spoke with the children about who they help. They help families and pets. The Caritas Ambassadors decided that they would like to ask the school to collect items for The Raft Foundation
On Friday 11th October 2024, the Caritas Ambassadors delivered the collection of food to The Raft Foundation HQ. It gave the pupils the chance to see what The Raft Foundation do first hand and gave them an opportunity to meet some of their volunteers.
