FASHION SHOW OCTOBER 2026
Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way to our latest nearly new fashion show. We have raised £771 so far for CAFOD and the South Liverpool food bank and a great time was had by all. We couldn’t do it without your generous donations, our fantastic models and helpers and everyone who comes along on the day and digs deep. Absolutely everything donated finds a new home. We have made clothing donations to Barnardo’s and Asylum Link and will be taking warm coats to the Irenaeus project. It’s still not too late to donate and add to the total.

LIVESIMPLY AWARD CELEBRATION JUNE 2024
In June we celebrated (simply!) not only achieving the CAFOD LiveSimply Award, but also the amazing spirit of cooperation between our parishes and between many groups within the parishes, that made this achievement possible. Thank you everyone!
Each parish received a wooden plaque, hand finished by artisans in Cambodia. The wood is sustainably sourced acacia and making the plaques enables the people with disabilities who make them to earn their own income. Once they are fully mounted both plaques will be proudly displayed in our two churches.

Nearly NewFashion Show Thank You! |
|
Thank you to everyone who helped to make our Fashion show a success! It was a fabulous and fun afternoon and it was great to see so many people there. We are delighted to have raised £1300 for CAFOD.
We started with a sparkling cream tea followed by our fashion show, modelled by our fantastic volunteers and showcasing some of the many new and nearly new items that people had so kindly donated. Thank you to our donors, everyone who was there to support us on the day and to those who couldn't make it but still contributed.
It really does support our Live simply aims –
living sustainably by choosing to reuse instead of buying new and
in solidarity with others by raising funds for CAFOD to help our global family and donating some unsold items to asylum link and Barnados.
It’s always fantastic to see our parish community of all ages coming together to support the event and to have fun.
Thank you once again and we are looking forward to our Autumn event! 
LiveSimply Question Time
Climate Crisis: What can I do?

Nearly New Fashion Show
Thank You!
Thank you to everyone who helped to make our Fashion show such a success! You helped to make it a really enjoyable afternoon and we are delighted to have raised £1444 for Mary’s meals.
Our models and our helpers were all fantastic and we are grateful to everyone who donated items for sale. Our guests enjoyed their sparkling cream tea and were really generous with their bids and purchases. Thanks also to everyone who couldn't attend but still contributed.
It really does support our Live simply aims –
- living simply and sustainably by choosing to reuse rather that to buy new and
- in solidarity with others by raising funds for Mary’s meals and donating some of our items that haven’t been sold, to Asylum link, Nugent and Jospice.
It’s always fantastic to see our parish community of all ages coming together to support the event and to have fun.
Thank you once again and we are looking forward to our Spring event!

A WALK IN THE WOODS 23RD SEPTEMBER 2023
On Saturday 23rd Sepember, members of the Live Simply team were joined by their fellow parishioners from Bishop Eton and St Mary's for a guided walk through Childwall Woods.
At the start of the walk we remembered Susan a member of the St Mary’s and Bishop Eton Women’s Group - and many other community groups. Eileen Murray (Bishop Eton's resident poet) has written a wonderful poem to celebrate Susan's life. Click here to read it.
