Every year, World Brighten Up Day brings schools and communities together to celebrate hope, generosity, and the power of giving. At St. Cuthbert’s Catholic Primary School, pupils embraced the spirit of the day by dressing in bright colours and raising an incredible £326.26 for CAFOD World Gifts – a unique way of giving that transforms lives around the world.
Our Year 6 Faith in Action children played a key role in selecting the gifts purchased for families living in poverty. Thanks to their thoughtful choices, we were able to provide:
- A Goat – Offering milk for nutrition and income through breeding.
- A Vegetable Garden – Helping families grow their own food and fight hunger sustainably.
- Chirpy Chickens – Supplying eggs for food and sale, improving health and income.
By supporting World Brighten Up Day, we didn’t just raise money – we gave hope, dignity, and opportunities to those who need it most. This act of kindness reflects our commitment to living out our faith and making a real difference in the world.
