May 21, 2024

Sporting equipment arranged around the words Summer of Hope

As summer approaches, and with the promise of warmer weather on the horizon, there are plenty of opportunities to get outside and get together with friends and family. This year, we’re treated to a summer of sport, with the Euro’s, Copa America, Tour de France, Wimbledon and the Paris Olympics and Paralympics taking place between June and September. With a particularly sporty summer ahead, why not make the most of this and organise a Summer of Hope fundraiser for CAFOD!
