Our older children were given the opportunity to apply to become Caritas Ambassadors. We appointed 8 Caritas Ambassadors, who are enthusiastic and hold faith and social fairness close to their hearts.  

Our Caritas Ambassadors are activists for social change, and are ambassadors of Catholic Social Teaching at Our Lady & St Gerard's. Their mission is to make a positive difference by showing 'love in action', raising awareness and encouraging others. The pupils are committed to their roles and received training from Caritas at the start of their journey as ambassadors. They understand that 'Caritas' means charity in Latin and they organise events to support local charities. They believe that supporting them can help to make a positive difference to people's lives.
