Community Shops located in areas of deprivation |

Residential Care projects, which include two approved premises in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, two hostels for homeless people in Leeds and Newcastle, and one residential project for mental health in Tyne & Wear. |

Members of Clydach SVP in South Wales perform a dramatic account of the last 12 hours of Jesus's life twice a week during Lent in churches all over the country and proceeds are used to fund Menevia Special works. For the Passion Play to be performed in your Church or Parish visit the SVP Menevia website. |
