Mini Vinnies follow in the footsteps of Christ and St Vincent de Paul.
The Mini Vinnies are the youngest members of the St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP), an international Christian voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty in all its forms by providing practical assistance to people in need.
The Mini Vinnies get together in primary schools and parishes across England and Wales to live out their mission of see, think, do, supporting their school community and beyond alongside the SVP. Most Mini Vinnies are between the ages of seven and eleven, but even children as young as five are living out the mission too.

Hannah, the chaplain from Sacred Heart Catholic Academy, has worked with us to introduce Year 6 to the Faith In Action Award.
Faith In Action rewards young people for their service to their school, parish and community.
Pin Level is for young people of Year 6 age (10/11), or older. It is designed to allow young people to discover how faith shapes lives, thus acting as a stepping stone to the higher award levels.
Having taken early steps in establishing a personal relationship with God, participants begin to see that this relationship has an outward and visible effect upon them and those around them. As they seek to know God better, they become aware that others, of all ages, are trying to do the same. This draws us together in community. Seeking to serve the community helps us discover even more about ourselves, each other and God.
There are four Reflection Points:
LOVE • We Are Loved • Loving Our Neighbour
SERVICE • Building the Kingdom of God • Servant Leadership

On Thu 5th Dec, we welcomed Catherine from the St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP) to talk to Years 4 and 5 about Mini Vinnies.
In this session, Hannah introduced the Faith In Action Pin Badge level. After discussing the theme of 'We are loved', the children made a card for a family member.
Year 6 learnt about what Jesus said about loving our neighbour and how difficult it can sometimes be. They considered the parable of the Good Samaritan and thought about a modern-day example in the work of Marcus Rashford to enable children to have food during the school holidays..
Thu 21st Nov - Our Y4 and Y5 received their Creative Worship badges.
