The Caritas Cup supports our sisters and brothers in Gaza
23 September 2024

Faith in football
The Caritas Cup is the brainchild of Adam, Aiden, Bailey and Daniel - four friends and former students of St Margaret's High in Airdrie. It brings together young Catholics to play football and netball tournaments in their Diocese, all in aid of charities such as SCIAF, and other important causes.
In 2024, these knock-out sport competitions will raise money for SCIAF’s Holy Land emergency appeal helping our sisters and brothers who are suffering so terribly at the moment.
Reaching new supporters
This year, for the first time, the Caritas Cup is expanding from its roots in Motherwell Diocese. Schools in St Andrew’s and Edinburgh Archdiocese, as well as Paisley Diocese, will take part too.
At SCIAF, we are incredibly grateful to Adam, Aiden, Bailey and Daniel for their drive and desire to help people around the world, and to bring young people together through sport. Thank you!
SCIAF's work in the Holy Land
SCIAF are working with local Caritas organisations to respond to those most in need across the Holy Land. Our partners and their staff on the ground are providing essential cash-transfers, primary health care and psychosocial support, particularly to children. They are also providing care and support for their staff, ensuring they are able to continue to provide frontline services.
Donate today
Make sure to visit the Caritas Cup JustGiving page if you would like to make a donation or if you wish to set up your own fundraiser for your school or class.
Every penny raised truly makes a difference to those who need it most.

As the crisis deepens in Gaza, the Caritas family has intensified its efforts to address the needs of people in desperate need.
Two friends got on their bikes last week and raised over £6,000 to help people caught up in the war in Gaza.
News reached us that Fr Gabriel is back with his congregation in Gaza City.
