As Christmas approaches, SVP estimates \u00a0over a quarter of a million requests for help this year.<\/span><\/h3>\n

20 November 2023.......<\/strong>
\n<\/em>Thanks to the generous support of the Irish public the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SVP) has provided \u20ac332 million worth of direct assistance to those who have sought its help over the past ten years.<\/p>\n

With calls\u00a0 for help already at almost 200,000 to date this year \u00a0the Society expects calls at the end of this year to well exceed last year\u2019s record 230,000 calls.<\/p>\n

The figures were announced by National President Rose McGowan at the launch of the SVP Annual Appeal today.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Annual Appeal is focused on providing help to struggling \u00a0parents who wonder how they will provide a Happy Christmas for their families. The campaign is entitled \u00a0\u201cThe Wonder of Christmas\" <\/em><\/strong>and subtitled \u201cWill we have Christmas at all\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Launching this year\u2019s SVP Annual Appeal Rose McGowan \u00a0said \u201cOur theme this year\u00a0 reflects the questions our volunteers face most regularly and particularly at this time of the year.<\/p>\n

They include;<\/p>\n

\n

\"I wonder how I\u2019m going to afford heating?\u00a0 I wonder will I\u2019ll have enough for food and toys? I wonder do the kids know we are struggling?\u00a0 I wonder how it is \u00a0affecting them? I wonder how we got into this situation? \u00a0I wonder If we will ever get us out of it?\"<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I wonder if you can help?<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe calls for help to our offices and local Conferences (Branches) continue to increase.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In 2021 we had a record breaking 191,000 requests. Last year the figure jumped by 20% to just over 230,000 and this year we on track to exceed that number again.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She went on to say that according to the latest CSO Survey of Income and Living Conditions \u00a0there are over 670,000 people at risk of poverty in Ireland, almost 875,000 people were experiencing enforced deprivation and going without essentials and over 265,000 live in consistent poverty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDespite the additional cost-of-living support payments made by the Government, there are many people who continue to struggle \u00a0to meet basic family expenses. This struggle becomes even more difficult on special occasions such as Christmas.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThose hardest hit will include one parent-families, low-income workers; households on fixed social welfare incomes; low-income households in rural areas; people with disabilities and their carers. That is why we are seeking donations to help families pay for food, heat their homes and ensure their children get a decent Christmas.\u201c<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
