About us

A busy hub in Southend-on-Sea dedicated to changing lives through practical support, advice and community.

St Vincent's Centre, Southend-on-Sea is a Community Support Project of the St Vincent de Paul Society (England and Wales) which supports vulnerable people in the local area.

We offer a friendly, non judgemental and unique “wrap around” service tailored to the needs of the individual. We provide foodbank services, hot meals, in and out reach support, household items and clothing, counselling, dementia support and a befriending service. We also signpost our service users to specialist organisations that we partner with in the local community.
