World Day of the Poor 2025 Resources

In collaboration with Caritas Brentwood, Caritas Southwark has created a set of resources to help schools and parishes mark World Day of the Poor 2025, which takes place on 16th November.

This year’s theme, “Seeds of Hope”, is reflected in a Primary School PowerPoint, designed to engage younger pupils with activities and reflections. For older students, we’ve prepared a Secondary School Collective Worship Sheet to guide prayer and discussion around the theme.

Additionally, a printable prayer card is available, along with three printable posters.
