The SVP operates several Soup Run services including those listed below to provide food, warm drinks, blankets and companionship to homeless people in these areas.
The service is not just about food provision, it is also about meeting up with people and engaging with them.
Over 20,000 people benefit from the SVP soup runs every year, the projects are supported by 200 volunteers committing an average of 150 voluntary hours each week. The SVP soups runs are always keen to receive donations of goods, funds and volunteer support.
