St Vincent de Paul Society

General information

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVP) is a direct service non-profit organisation whose work primarily involves person-to-person contact with people who have a variety of needs. In addition to direct assistance, we try to promote self-sufficiency, enabling people to help themselves. Any assistance offered by the Society is given in a non-judgemental spirit of compassion, based on the need of the individual or family.

We do much more than just address financial hardship; we visit the sick, the poor, the lonely and the imprisoned to form a unique network of social concern. Our members give through working for social justice and the creation of a more just and caring nation.
