Saint Vincent de Paul Society

This year, Ireland's largest volunteer organisation, the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, celebrated 160 years of unbroken service to the poor and the vulnerable.

Every year, thanks to your support, the Saint Vincent de Paul Society touches the lives of 200,000 people. Every day, we visit families, people in hospital, and people in prison. We run 600 housing units and 18 hostels, which, together, provide 1,200 beds for people in need of housing. We run 120 good-as-new shops around the country, 9 holiday homes, 12 day-care and family resource centres, almost 40 breakfast clubs, and many other services.

The SVP Society would like to use this occasion to thank the many thousands of Irish people who support the society during the year, and to invite all members to a special Members' Day Event, which will take place in the RDS on 30 May.

For further information, please contact your local conference.
It's wonderful what we can do — SVP and you.
