A GROUP of Wirral primary school children have been helping out in the community and carrying out charity work.
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.
At Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School in Moreton, pupils have been
collecting and creating essential toiletry bags for people in need of emergency accommodation, sending Christmas cards to members of the community, raising funds to support the Wirral Summer Camp for disadvantaged children and engaging in projects alongside Chester Zoo.
Teacher, Hannah McKay said: "All of our children at Sacred Heart are fantastic, and the Mini Vinnies are shining examples of what it means to care for others in our Moreton community."
