Everything we do is rooted in Catholic Social Teaching, which reminds us that every person is created in the image of God and deserves dignity, love, and support. #### Making a Real Difference—Together We are proud of the way our children, families, and staff come together to support others. Each act of generosity—whether it’s a foodbank donation, a sponsored walk, or a simple act of kindness—helps us build a community rooted in faith, hope, and love. Charity work is important to us because it allows us to put our faith into action, deepen our understanding of Catholic Social Teaching, and help create a better world for everyone. Here are the charities we support. ![fund raising poster for the schools big lent walk](https://www.stjs.org.uk/images/7e963c7424713c2a0fd6ecf702dc08d3.png) ### Our Faith - [Catholic Life](https://www.stjs.org.uk/catholic-life) - [Celebration of the Word](https://www.stjs.org.uk/celebration-of-the-word) - [Charity Work](https://www.stjs.org.uk/charity-work) - [First Communion](https://www.stjs.org.uk/first-communion) - [Mini Vinnies](https://www.stjs.org.uk/mini-vinnies) - [Our Diocese](https://www.stjs.org.uk/our-diocese) - [Our Parish](https://www.stjs.org.uk/our-parish) - [RE Curriculum](https://www.stjs.org.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-plans/re) ![St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary, Sunderland](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-2/images/logo/logo-footer-with-diocese-02.png) ### St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary, Sunderland Rutland Street Sunderland SR4 6HY 0191 510 8484 ### Useful Links - [Website Terms ](https://bccet.org.uk/website-terms) - [Accessibility Statement](https://bccet.org.uk/accessibility-statement) - [Privacy Statement](https://bccet.org.uk/privacy-policy) - [FOI](https://bccet.org.uk/freedom-of-information) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stjosephsmillfield) © Copyright 2026 St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary, Sunderland School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stjs.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
