Membership is open to anyone, of all faiths and none. We just ask is that you accept the Christian ethos at the root of the Society. The forging of new friendships is enjoyed by members and their families, sometimes extending to children who join our Mini Vinnie groups.
We look for members who are, above all, caring and compassionate. We want people who are good listeners, confidential and non-judgemental of others. If this sounds like you, please get in touch with us.
As a voluntary endeavour there is no cost to joining, except your time. You will be able to help all people irrespective of their background or religion, thus making an impact on your wider community. The only criterion for who we help is their need.
Safeguarding
Safeguarding in the Society is carried out within the framework set out in the Care Act 2014 Social Service, Well-being Act (Wales), Working Together to Safeguard Children 2015 and associated statutory and best practice guidance.
