My challenge as part of Caritas Salford's Every Step initiative is to walk to at least 5 of our diocesan schools based in the Rochdale borough within just one school day.

I'll be thanking pupils and our Caritas Ambassadors for the great work they do along the way and collecting their messages of support for Fr Chris Gorton who is walking the Camino de Santiago for Caritas Salford.

As the cost-of-living crisis continues to hit local families and individuals, Caritas is seeing a huge increase in demand for its services.

Whether that’s people experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless, people experiencing poverty, people facing isolation and discrimination, or people facing other acute crisis situations, it’s vital that we take action now to support them.

If you can, please sponsor me to help Caritas Salford transform lives. Many thanks.
