SCIAF and the Catholic Church across Scotland have been so proud of how supporters have responded to the WEE BOX appeal throughout lockdown. You have truly stood in solidarity with our brothers and sisters living in poverty.
These times have not been easy – especially when some school pupils didn’t even return to school until after Easter. Despite not being together in person, you’ve taken part in impressive virtual walks and online fundraising. This has been the best year yet for JustGiving support!
A round of applause for Vatican Voyagers
St Bernadette’s Primary in Larbert did a ‘Voyage to the Vatican’ - very impressive!
Remarkable raffle
Staff at St Andrew’s Primary in Kilmarnock had a raffle and raised £350 for children with disabilities in South Sudan.
Fantastic Falkirk fundraising
St Francis Xavier’s primary in Falkirk continued their weekly fundraising activities including #StepitUpforSCIAF throughout Lent and beyond.
Wonderful work, St John Paul II Primary
St John Paul II Primary in Uddingston raised a whopping £1100 for the WEE BOX in just one day.
Big smiles for the WEE BOX
Countless WEE BOXES were handed in to St Bridget’s primary in Kilbirnie - amazing work!
Our Lady's made it to South Sudan
Our Lady’s High in Cumbernauld raised over £2500 walking the distance to South Sudan - wonderful!
Well done, 100km walkers
Mr Harrison and a number of pupils St Matthew’s Academy took on the challenge of completing 100 km in just one month.
Thank you to St Maurice's
St Maurice’s High in Cumbernauld completed sponsored walks and held bucket collections in aid of our sisters and brothers in South Sudan. Thank you!
So inspired by St Andrew's and St Bride's
St Andrew’s and St Bride’s High in EK raised over £11,000 by collectively walking/running over 6500km.
5k family fun
After learning about SCIAF through her son's school, Subha decided to get the family involved in a 5k run. They raised a whopping £190 - thank you Subha, Srini, and Keysia.
Praise for 'passing the WEE BOX'
Senior pupils at St Joseph’s Academy created a fantastic video to raise awareness of ‘passing on’ the WEE BOX. Check it out today!
Thank you!
We’ve been blown away with all the fantastic work! This is just a flavour of what schools and supporters across Scotland are doing to put ‘loving your neighbour’ into practice, and we know many more thoughtful individuals have fundraised for our appeal. We’re so grateful for everyone’s support; we couldn’t help communities living in poverty without you.
On behalf of all those who will benefit from your prayers and your fundraising, we want to thank you so much.
All donations received by 11th May were doubled by UK government - thank you!
