Fund Raising

As a church school we are committed to supporting charities and other good causes. We believe that it is part of our Christian vision to help those in need wherever they may be. We regularly take part in national events such as Jeans for Genes, Red Nose Day, the Poppy Appeal, the RNLI Lifeboat Appeal and Help for Heroes. We also support charities such as Water Aid, Barnados, Cancer Research, the Samaritans and the Bexley and Greenwich Hospice. Alongside these charities, we raise funds and draw awareness to church charities such as Christian Aid and community causes through Bishop Ridley Church, such as food packages for local families in need and events for vulnerable local groups.

The School Council take an active role in fund-raising by organising non-uniform days, bring-and-buy sales, cake sales, sponsored events and days where everyone wears something of a particular colour (eg. blue for Water Aid). We annually put together Christmas gift boxes for the Samaritans to send abroad to poverty-stricken children. We also support the Trussell Trust at Harvest time by sending them our food collection.
