Everyone is invited to join the Youth Action Group, which meets twice a month and is run by members of the RE department and School Chaplain. The groups fundamental focus is social action and CAFOD.

Members of the YAG helped to promote as well as take part in the CAFOD: Escape Poverty Fundraiser, tickets to the escape room were sold during break by members of the RE department. The escape room was made up of 5 tasks, led by a RE teacher. Each team needed to complete each room as quickly and correctly as possible in order to escape! The goal to was raise £150 for CAFOD World Gifts so the YAG can start to build a CAFOD village.

The Youth Action Group put their heads together to create a fundraising plan. They soon realised that there were lots of friends/staff/families that are affected by Alzheimer’s in our school community. Upon learning that they decided to organise a bake sale to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society. Thanks to the generosity of the pupils, families and staff they managed to raise £180!

St Illtyd’s staff and pupils took on the challenge of walking 200km as a school during Lent to raise money for CAFOD. They covered a massive distance during their PE lessons, topped up by those who took the distance on as a personal challenge. Thanks to the generosity of our school community and local parishes we managed to raise £357 for CAFOD last year.
