Susan Grace, assistant headteacher at Newman Catholic College, in Harlesden Road, received the Diocese of Westminster’s Secondary School Social Outreach Award at a virtual celebration on June 2. The range of nominations received included befriending the elderly, supporting the unemployed, visiting refugees, running foodbanks, and serving the homeless. The all-boys Catholic school promotes an ethos of serving the Common Good, so when staff witnessed how many families were having difficulties buying enough food during the pandemic–some had got into debt waiting for their first payment of Universal Credit, or were asylum seekers with no recourse to public funds – they decided to put their faith into action.
