Purple Community Fund
Purple Community Fund
At Christ Church, we encourage our children to become active and responsible members of society and to have respect for people, families and communities beyond their own. One of the ways we encourage this is through our Purple Community Fund.
Our children and families always give very generously and we have begun recording our charity fundraising totals for all to see.
Supporting our wider communities
Children In Need
Every year we participate in raising money for Children In Need. For a donation of £1, children and staff can come to school wearing anything spotty which could include head bands, jumpers, etc or come in wearing their pyjamas.
Cancer Research
Christ Church staff participate in ‘Wearing Pink’.
We are raise money to help fund life-changing breast cancer research and support.
Poppy Appeal
The Royal British Legion have provided us with a supply of poppies in school. Remembrance Day is a Memorial Day observed in Commonwealth Nations since the end of the First World War. On this day we remember all the soldiers who have lost their lives in conflict, from the beginning of the First World War right up to the present day. We also remember all those who have served in the armed forces and their families.
Christmas Jumper Day
Every year we ask the pupils and staff to wear their brightest, funniest, craziest Christmas Jumpers for Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day and make the world better with a sweater. By taking part in the woolly fun and donating £1 via ParentPay, you’ll be giving children in the UK and around the world the chance to build a better future. Your donation could pay for the antibiotics to treat five children suffering from pneumonia. Every sweater really can make the world better.
Supporting our local communities
Harvest Festival
Sharing our Food and Sharing God’s Love with our Neighbours
We celebrate Harvest Festival by supporting Bexley Food Banks that provide locally for those who find themselves in crisis. We ask each child to bring in an item of food to create a display for our Harvest Worship. These donations will then be taken to our local Food Bank.
You can find out more about the ‘Trussell Trust’ who manage the Food Banks by visiting their website: http://bexley.foodbank.org.uk/
