Charities
The youth at St Mary’s actively support two Christian charities, Global Care and Samaritan’s Purse.
Global Care supports the poorest and most vulnerable children around the world by supporting their families and providing the children with education. We support this charity because we appreciate the education that is available to us in this country and our hope is that in the future the same education will be available to all of God’s children, able to grow up to be responsible caring adults and influencers of society. We raise money through sponsored events such as our Shack Challenge in 2021 and sponsored walk in 2022, both of which raised over £1,000 each. We plan on doing another sponsored event in 2023.
Samaritan’s Purse is a charity we also support by filling shoeboxes every year to be distributed at Christmas to less fortunate children throughout Europe. In 2022 our shoeboxes went to Ukraine.
