Children – We provide care and education for children and have an adoption service.

Adults – We help to support the elderly, people who are hard of hearing, Deaf or who have a learning disability as well as people who are homeless.

WHY should you be involved?

We should follow the example of Father Nugent and show that we care for others.

Our fundraising will help them to continue our work.

During Lent each class arranged a fundraising event. The event was chosen by and ran by the children. The Class Twitter Pages have pics and information around each event.

The proceeds were donated to the Nugent Care Good Shepherd Appeal. We raised a wonderful total of £704.50.

Thanks you to our whole school community who supported our fundraising during Lent this year. You have made a difference!
