In your school
We work with thousands of children, young people, teachers and headteachers from across Greater Manchester and Lancashire.
There are lots of ways we can work alongside your school.

School Service
Our School Service aims to remove barriers to learning and participation, nurturing the development of children and their families through enabling and empowering them to develop new skills and knowledge.
The support we provide is tailored to the needs of each individual, providing a bespoke package which can address a range of areas, including behaviour, supporting bereavement, emotional wellbeing, anxiety and confidence.
Bishop’s Fund
At this time of great financial hardship for many, we recognise that our schools will witness daily the impact of poverty on pupils.
We’re continuing to offer up to £1,000 for individuals and families via our Caritas Bishop’s Fund.
Fundraise for Caritas Salford:
Could you please choose us as your charitable fundraising focus during Advent or Lent (St Joseph’s Penny Appeal)? Or perhaps you could fundraise for one of our services or engage in our regular appeals through the year?
It’s a great way to engage your whole school community and help us to continue providing support to people in your local area thanks to your fundraising achievements.

Don’t miss out! These are available each time your young people take part in local social action.
