CAFOD is the international aid agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. CAFOD raises funds from the Catholic community in England and Wales, the UK government and the general public so that it can:

• promote long-term development
• respond to emergencies
• raise public awareness of the causes of poverty
• speak out on behalf of poor communities
• promote social justice in witness to Christian faith and gospel values

CAFOD believes in the intrinsic dignity of every person and works with all people regardless of race, gender, religion or politics. We seek to be an inclusive diverse organisation which celebrates difference and creates relationships of mutual respect. The local CAFOD group meets in Our Lady of Ransom Church in Grange Road. We are an ecumenical group and will welcome any new members. Currently we are involved in the ‘No Dirty Gold Campaign’.
