SVP continues to offer help during current delay phase of COVID-19 Corona Virus

No more than the rest of the country we are challenged by the current Covid-19 crisis. We will continue to support people to the best of our ability who request our help during this period.

Those seeking assistance from SVP are asked to contact their relevant regional office by telephone or online facilities as we will not be operating any call-in facilities.

The future depends on what we do in the present.
It’s hard to believe that another year has nearly come to an end. However, as servants to the most vulnerable in society, we now face into the busiest period of our work.
