The award, championed by the international aid charity CAFOD, was presented to the Catholic school after they successfully planned and implemented faith inspired actions that highlighted the importance of caring for people and the planet. Their actions have had a positive impact throughout the school, in their local community, and globally too, as they reached out to make a difference.

Mrs Lakin at St Peter's Catholic School who led the LiveSimply journey, said:

"I am extremely proud of all the work achieved over the last 18 months, including the creation and support from our incredible PTA. The St Peter's patch has also been wonderful to share with the pupils. We look forward to how we develop further within school and our local community."

CAFOD’s LiveSimply Coordinator for Schools, Siobhan Farnell, said:

“Congratulations to the pupils and staff on achieving the LiveSimply award. Their actions are wonderful examples of caring for others and our common home and we wish them well as they continue to live simply, sustainably and in solidarity with communities around the world experiencing poverty.”
