At English Martyrs’ we want all children to understand how important it is to give selflessly to others without the expectation of anything in return as part of our commitment to Catholic faith values and to enable the children to grow into contributing citizens in their communities.

Each year, each class will choose a class charity and decide on a fundraising event, something that raises awareness in our school community and invite our school community to a coffee afternoon in aid of the charity.

Please see below for this year’s class charities and the fundraising totals from 2023/24.
