Society of St Vincent de Paul
The Society of St Vincent De
Paul – (or as it is often known the SVP ) is an international Christian
organisation. Catholic
in origin and character it is dedicated to helping
anyone in need. The concept of need is broadly based, so visiting the sick,
the
lonely, the addicted and those suffering from disabilities form a large
proportion of the Society's work.
The SVP support justice and
peace by encouraging communities and individuals to improve their quality of
life, but works
to address the causes of need. It gathers and uses information
about the effects of legislation on grass roots poverty,
examines relevant draft
legislation in response to government on issues that are adversely affect the
poor, mainly by
co-operating with other Christian and voluntary groups in the UK
and within Europe. However, in dealing with such
matters it avoids party
politics.
