What we do at a local level

Across England and Wales, we are a network of communities putting faith into action. Our teams campaign at a local and national level, and work to get media coverage for our work locally

Our supporters and volunteers raise funds through Fast Days at Lent and Harvest, an Advent appeal and through long-term fundraising schemes.

Money is also raised through legacies, emergency appeal donations and grants from the UK government and other bodies such as the European Union.

Thousands of people campaign with us to challenge the structures and policies that keep people poor. They do this by writing to MPs and government ministers, attending peaceful protests, lobbying governments and relevant international bodies such as the European Union, and making others in their communities aware of injustices that must stop.

We also provide resources and support to hundreds of schools and youth groups, helping them raise funds and awareness of development issues. Linked with the national curriculum, our work provides insight and ideas for action on a wide range of issues which help young people develop a sense of responsibility and global citizenship.

Our volunteers give talks at school assemblies about development work and lead classroom activity sessions, as well as promote useful resources and support CAFOD groups within schools.

We also work with diocesan networks and religious congregations, helping to reflect on global justice issues in the light of Catholic social teaching and gospel values.
