Several of our
parish teenagers have been involved with this scheme in which they had just 2
weeks to plan & then carry out a social action project for a charity.
A pop
up Car Wash took place in our car park for which our ever generous parishioners donated over £400! Thank
you!
They did a 15 km sponsored walk from the children's hospital around to 3 McDonald's branches in Town, Filton and Cribbs Causeway, they ran a cake sale in the galleries, did some gardening at Ronald McDonald house itself & and put out requests for donated items
for Ronald McDonald House to use when supporting the parents of critically ill children
in the children’s hospital.
Look how much you donated!
The students wish to Thank St Augustine’s
parishioners for such a generous & kind response to their project. The final
total came to £980! Fantastic!
Frankie from Ronald McDonald House Bristol contacted us with this message “We are so very grateful to the community at St Augustine’s for their generosity
& incredible support. We have been ‘blown away’ by the amount of donated
items from our wish list as well as the amazing amount raised from the teenager’s
car wash! Simple household items like cleaning products, bedding etc help keep
our house running, ensuring we can provide a comfortable and inviting space for
families in need. Likewise the £400 raised from the car wash will completely
cover the costs of accommodating and supporting 1 of our families for 11 days
which is fantastic! Without the generosity of people like you we would no
longer be able to provide this vital space for families going through the
toughest of times. We cannot thank you enough!”
