Thank you so much for your donation to help struggling individuals and families.
Today, the weight on a mother’s shoulders will lift because of you.
As she opens the little envelope she’s been desperately hoping for, she looks up to the heavens and breathes a sigh of relief…
Thanks to you, and your generous gift, some sorely-needed vouchers have arrived. Thank you with my whole heart for your generosity during this time of increased worry and misery for so many families.
For almost two centuries now, caring souls like you have been at the heart of a proud SVP tradition of giving to people facing great hardship. This winter SVP is receiving an average of 100 requests for help every hour. We can only keep answering these requests because of selfless donations like yours today.
Thank you for every moment of mercy you bring,
Rose McGowan,
National President
Society of Saint Vincent de Paul
A genuine concern for those in our community who are in need and a willingness to do something about it, whilst preserving total confidentially. Patience, kindness and compassion are important.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is the largest, voluntary, charitable organisation in Ireland. Its membership of over 10,000 Volunteers throughout the country offer friendship and support to individuals and families living with poverty to achieve self-sufficiency while, working for social justice.
Our focus is on practical approach to dealing with poverty, alleviating its effects on individuals and families through working primarily in person-to-person contact by a unique system of family visitation and seeking to achieve social justice and equality of opportunity for all citizens. In addition to providing direct assistance to those in need, caring for the homeless, providing social housing, operating holiday homes and other social support activities, the Society promotes community self-sufficiency, enabling people to help themselves.
The National Office, Special Works Managers and Shared Services work in partnership with the National Management Council to further the mission vision and goals of the S.V.P. adding value to the volunteer membership through the resources and expertise of paid staff.
The SVP is a lay Christian Organisation. Membership is open to anyone who respects the ethos and rule of the Society. You do not need to be a Christian in order to join the SVP.
