What is the Live Simply award?
TheΒ Live Simply award is a scheme for communities and schools who can show how they have been living:
-
simply
-
sustainably with creation
-
in solidarity with people living in poverty.
The award celebrates what you have already done and inspires you to do more. It helps your community live, not just more simply, but also more fully.
TheΒ Live Simply award is an opportunity for Catholic communities (schools) to answer the call for us to care for our common home and stand in solidarity with our sisters and brothers around the world.
