St. Brigid’s BNS has close links to Lámha Suas, a charity set up by Ms. Sheeran in 2010. A highlight of the school year is the annual relay race in aid of Lámha Suas.  This is highly anticipated, fun and inclusive event that take place just before Easter every year.

Lámha Suas is a charity that works to support the education of girls and young women in Uganda. This is done through a number of programmes: a Building Programme to improve facilities at our partner school, Kisoolo Primary School, a Scholarship Programme to enable young women to finish secondary school and go on to third level and a Safe Motherhood Programme providing pregnant women with support and the resources to have their babies in local clinics. They also have a Volunteer Programme enabling people to come and work in Uganda over the summer.
