Traditionally, each Lent schoolchildren all over the Archdiocese raise money for Father Hudsons Care. It is one of our oldest appeals dating back to when children would collect coins during the early days of the charity and is now one of our biggest and most vital fundraising campaigns.

The money raised by children makes a real difference to the people that we support, people who are in real need. Father Hudsons Care transforms the lives of people in their time of need. Children and young people find a listening ear and a helping hand in our Family Support Workers, or a loving home through our New Routes fostering service. Adults affected by a childhood separation from their family of origin find support and answers through our Origins Service. People with disabilities, sensory impairments or learning difficulties find the care, understanding and support they need to live life to the fullest at St Vincents apartments, in the community, and in St Catherines Bungalows and Day Service. Older people and those living with various types of dementia find a home from home in St Josephs, a residential community in Coleshill, North Warwickshire. Homeless people find their strengths recognised and feel empowered to make a fresh start, refugees and asylum seekers grasp the hand of welcome, and frail older people feel isolated no more thanks to Father Hudsons Care and its community partners.

Thank you for supporting our work.
