Did you know that on Sunday 25 January we will be marking Caritas Sunday? It’s an opportunity to thank you all for your support over the past year and communicate the difference made by your generosity when it comes to the lives of local people experiencing poverty, homelessness and discrimination. The second collection that weekend will be for Caritas Salford and is vital for ensuring that work can continue.
