St Vincent's Centre, Southend-on-Sea is a busy community hub supporting vulnerable people in the community with foodbank services, hot meals, in and outreach support, and household items and clothing.
We offer a range of activities and support including outreach support on the streets of Southend. We deliver food and clothing parcels, provide a hot meal service through our Kindness Kitchens, offer one to one counselling, furniture delivery service and delivery of all our other services for those that can not access us. We also have a large inclusive volunteering programme which includes corporate volunteering.
We also have great links with local businesses who make it possible to do what we do. Their staff have visited our centre and volunteered with us. We are also keen to get young people involved through encouraging local schools and youth clubs to join us at St Vincent's centre. We can organise trips to the centre for young people if required.
Our services are free and confidential.
St Vincent's Centre has some upcoming events.
