A new scheme has been launched to help homeless people sleeping rough on the streets of London this winter.
St Vincent de Paul Society, is making it possible to give a practical help pack to homeless street people. The packs, called ‘Vinnie Packs’ include a hat, gloves, socks, toiletries and a thermal blanket. The packs costs £3.00 to produce. Anyone wanting to help street homeless in this way can either buy a ‘Vinnie Pack’ or sponsor the purchase of a pack which will then be distributed to street homeless by the St Vincent de Paul Society volunteers. If you would like to order some 'Vinnie Packs' or sponsor a pack that could be handed to a rough sleeper, please send a donation to: SVP, 46 Brunswick Court, Regency Street, London SW1P 4AE. Or contact John Mason on 0794 99 77740 or Siobhan Garibaldi on 07929 490090 |

| Ozanam Centre in Wales Closes | Online and telephone donations | |
The Centre has provided holidays for many years to a wide range of groups and families. The Centre has benefited from the enthusiasm, dedication and hard work of successive staff and volunteers. In particular, the trustees would like to pay tribute to Steve Whitley, the Centre Manager, who was tragically killed in a road accident in June of this year. |

It is with regret that the Trustees of the St Vincent de Paul Society have decided to close the Ozanam Centre North Wales with immediate effect. The Centre was due to cease trading at the end of August as it had ceased to be an economically viable operation for the Society. However this closure has been brought forward due to staffing difficulties. Please contact info@svp.org.uk if you find any broken links on this website
