St Vincent de Paul Society

Together, we can make a difference

What do we do?

The St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP) is part of an international Christian voluntary network dedicated to tackling poverty in all its forms by providing practical assistance to people in need. Founded in Britain in 1844, we foster diverse and inclusive connections, as a Society that is welcoming of people of all faiths and none. We joyfully extend our hand in the care and personal service of individuals and families who need support.

Who are we?

SVP has 10,000 members, who are motivated by faith and visit vulnerable or isolated people across England & Wales to offer them friendship and practical support. The essence of our work is person-to-person contact and spending time with people is our greatest gift.

The SVP at Our Lady & St Joseph’s would love to hear from you if you know someone in your community who may be in need of company or support that would benefit from the friendship, assistance and love we can provide.
