SVPIreland

The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SVP) is a non-profit organisation which supports people in need. Our work involves working on a one-to-one basis with individuals and families to offer tailored support ranging from direct financial assistance to emotional support.  While we act as a short-term safety net for those who fall outside the care of the Welfare state or need emergency financial aid, we also promote self-sufficiency and provide help to enable people to help themselves.

SVP was established in Ireland in 1844 and has extensive experience of working with a diverse range of people who experience poverty and exclusion.  Through a network of over 10,500 volunteers, it is strongly committed to working for social justice and advocates the creation of a more just and caring society.
