What is the Good Shepherd Appeal?
Our Schools and Parish Engagement Officer visits schools to deliver assemblies about our work, explaining how the money raised helps people in need. This is an excellent way of showing children how their Lenten sacrifice can help make a real difference to people’s lives.
This year’s aim
In 2025, we aim to visit over 100 Primary Schools during Lent, which is always a pleasure. We also welcome schools into our Coleshill offices to meet the staff and find out first hand, more about what we do.
