How can you make a difference?
The acts that make a difference can be as big as you like or they can be small gestures that make all the difference. As a school, we would like to make a significant link with our Catholic ethos when carrying out our deeds to make a difference.

Many deeds can be linked with the corporal works of Mercy, so here are a few ideas (but you will have many others we’re sure) of what you could do:

• Clothe the naked– take unwanted clothes to a charity shop.
• Feed the hungry– visit a homeless shelter or give donations to an SVP box in the entrance hall.
• Make a meal and invite a neighbour for dinner. The elderly would be particularly grateful for your company.
• Donate your pocket money to a charity of your choice.
• Wash someone else’s car.
• Take someone else’s dog for a walk.
• Spend time talking to an elderly or sick person.
• Buy someone a bunch of flowers to say thank you or cheer them up.
• Pay people compliments.
• Volunteer for a charity/ organisation for a day.
• Do an extra favour for someone.
• Collect stuffed animals or toys from family members, friends, and neighbours and donate them to an organization that helps children.
• Read or play games with the elderly– visit a nursing/ retirement home.
• Write a letter to a relative.
