Mini Vinnies

I will always welcome joyfully any opportunity that comes my way to be of service to you.        

- Vincent de Paul

Our Mini Vinnies are a group of children who get together to help those in need within their school and local community. Mini Vinnies introduces children to social justice issues and to living faith through action as part of the St Vincent de Paul Society. 

Meet our Mini Vinnies

Our Mini Vinnies meet regularly with Mrs Greenwood to plan out ideas to put faith into action across school.

During the 2023/24 academic year, our Mini Vinnies have led whole school worships and lead on fund raising and care for our local community.

In the Autumn Term the Mini Vinnies hosted Afternoon Tea for our elderly Parishioners.  The Mini Vinnies served tea, coffee and cakes and interacted with our visitors.  

During Advent, the Mini Vinnies created Christmas cards and asked children in school for donations of biscuits to deliver to care homes in our local area.  

During Lent, we helped to organise the BIG LENT WALK in school.  Our school raised £500 for CAFOD!

Thank you for your generous donations of biscuits and other sweet treats!  We visited eight local care homes and they were all very grateful.

We raised £100 when we held a 'Soak the Mini Vinnie' fundraising event!  It was very cold, but worth it!
