Thank you for supporting the DEC Turkey & Syria Earthquake Appeal

At the end of half term, whilst we were celebrating St. Vincent’s World Week, we were saddened to hear about the devastating earthquake in Turkey & Syria. We decided to try to help those in need by making donations to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC). On the day when we could wear traditional clothing and colours of our heritage countries, we also brought in money to donate to the the DEC Turkey & Syria Earthquake Appeal, so we can be confident the money will get directly to those who need it the most.

Thanks to the generosity and care of our school family we raised £1312! Thank you so much to everyone who donated, especially in these challenging times.  Please continue to remember those affected in your prayers.

Prayer for those affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria
God of mercy,
We pray for the people of Türkiye and Syria
following the recent earthquakes.
We mourn the death and destruction.
and pray for those who have died and those who grieve.

Lord, bring them comfort, strength and renewed hope.

We hold in our hearts those who are injured,
and those who have lost loved ones, livelihoods, and homes.

Lord, bring them comfort, strength and renewed hope.

Sustain and guide all responding to this disaster.
Grant those affected courage and resilience,
as they rebuild their lives and communities.

Lord, bring them comfort, strength and renewed hope.

Inspire us to unite in solidarity,
acting swiftly and generously,
so that help may reach all who need it.

Lord, bring them comfort, strength and renewed hope.

Amen.
