St Vincent de Paul Conference

The St Vincent de Paul Society of St John’s parish primarily aims to help families in our own community who are experiencing financial hardship as a result of ill health, unemployment, low wages or serious debt. We carry out home visits to assess what help is needed. We rely solely on the weekly contributions to the Red Box and occasional larger donations. The money is given to families who need food, fuel, clothing, white goods and /or furniture. At Christmas, we distribute food hampers to needy families and also gifts and toys kindly donated by Parishioners.
