Salford

Hello! I am Anna, Community Participation Coordinator with Education Focus in Your diocese. My role is to recruit and manage volunteers to engage with primary and secondary schools, raising awareness of CAFOD's partnership work with Caritas Internationalis Movement.

It is my privilege to support volunteers in strengthening children and young people's understanding of social injustice, inequalities, climate change and poverty. By doing so, volunteers help young people and children grow in their commitment to supporting their global neighbours and becoming the change, they wish to see in the world.

Please contact me if you wish to join our volunteers team and inspire our children and young people to pray, give and act.

I am Simon Holleron, CAFOD in Salford’s Community Participation Coordinator. (C.P.C.) I joined CAFOD in October 2018 and after over 20 years as a primary school teacher. In fact,  I still teach on the days when I am not working for CAFOD. I have also been part of L’Arche in Liverpool with whom I am still associated.

As well as recruiting and supporting our fantastic parish volunteers, I am responsible for having an overview of our school volunteers, supported by our wonderful Education Volunteer Coordinator Briege Sivills. Together we ensure that schools are aware of the latest news from CAFOD and support our volunteers who are visiting schools.

The thing I enjoy most about CAFOD is meeting and working with supporters and colleagues who all have the same goal to create a real positive impact upon the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable people.
