St Vincent de Paul Society

The SVP is supporting the Haiti Earthquake relief efforts via its Disaster Fund to help alleviate the terrible suffering facing survivors of the earthquake in the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince, which has left thousands dead and millions displaced and surviving in desperate conditions.

Any Members of the Society who would like to make a donation are asked to contact their local Twinnage representative.

If members of the public would like to make a donation via the SVP they can do so by posting a cheque made payable to ‘SVP Twinnage’ to SVP National Office, 5th Floor, 291-299, Borough High Street, London SE1 1JG, with a note requesting the money be used for Haiti.

Open to young and old alike and being promoted through schools and across the Vincentian Family, an art competition is being held to celebrate the 350th Anniversary. We are looking for artwork, whether it be painting, photography, sculpture or any other type of art which expresses Vincentian values and the ethos of the Vincentian Family.

You can submit any piece of art in any style (painted, drawn, photography etc) – the only requirement is that it is your interpretation of Vincentian ethos and service....
