The
Good Shepherd Appeal
for Schools, 2023
The Good Shepherd Appeal has a long-standing tradition in the Diocese of Hallam, and is the key fundraising initiative for Caritas Hallam (formerly known as Hallam Caring Services). Caritas Hallam is the social action arm of the Diocese of Hallam.
Although Caritas offers support to the many different social action projects around the Diocese, the Good Shepherd Appeal primarily fundraises for the provision of Counselling Services in Schools.
These services are used in schools by schools, to benefit:
- the children of those schools,
- the families of those children, and
- the staff working with the children.
The theme of this year’s Good Shepherd Appeal in Schools is:
Good Relationships –
with friends, family & Jesus
For our 2023 Appeal, we will be encouraging Primary and Secondary Catholic Schools in the Diocese to:
- Discuss what Good Relationships look like
- Explore how to develop a Personal Relationship with Jesus, and
- Fundraise for the work of Caritas in the Schools and communities of our Diocese.
The Good Shepherd Appeal Celebration 2023 will take place at St Marie’s Cathedral, Sheffield, on Wednesday 17th May at 10.30am. All Schools are warmly invited to attend, but this event will also be livestreamed to enable everyone to join in.
Full Resources for this Appeal will be available from 1st February 2023.
Have no doubt: your fundraising to support the work of Caritas Hallam is very much needed! The children and families of our own communities, need you. So please help us to raise these vital funds so that we can meet the ever-increasing mental health needs of our communities.
Thank you!
