Wealth and Poverty

home > Prior to the visit


Thanks to a 'Faiths in Action' grant from the Community Development Foundation, 5 schools will be able to participate in this trail for free. For more details please contact Pam Elliott
 



Please note that we can accommodate a maximum 30 pupils. We ask that 2 members of staff accompany pupils.

You may wish to pre-visit the venues to carry out a risk assessment. Please contact the venues so that this can be arranged.

We hope that the topic of Wealth and Poverty will be one that your pupils are familiar with. Please encourage your pupils to think of some questions relating to the topic that they can ask throughout the day.

Please ensure your pupils are aware of the need for respectful behaviour throughout the visit.

Things to bring

  • Digital cameras, camcorder, mobile phones
  • Paper and pen
  • Head covering for the mosque - girls, and appropriate dress.
  • Packed lunches (please store on the coach until you get to the Cathedral)

Coaches

There is a £200 grant towards transport. Please arrange for an invoice to be sent to Manchester Cathedral or give Pam Elliott details of the school account to which it should be paid asap, ideally in advance of the visit.

Coach spaces - if possible please allow spaces for the delivery team (maximum 4 adults), who would like to travel with you between venues.
