We could not do our work without the support and the generosity of the public. SVP have seen how one small thing can tip a family into a cycle of poverty and crisis. But the opposite is also a true.
A little bit of help at the right time can have a positive impact and change everything for someone in need. Donate to SVP and be there just when a family needs it. You can stop a someone from falling into that cycle. You can save them from a life of poverty.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul receives income from three main sources: donations from the public, sales from our community charity shop network and Government grants for Special Works (i.e. resource centres). The core work of the Society, home visitation and direct assistance is funded almost entirely from public donations.
In 2021, fundraised income for SVP totalled €45.5 million due to the continued generosity of the Irish public.
The Society of St Vincent de Paul's (SVP) objectives, activities and achievements can be found in our Annual Reports.
Visitation is the core work of the Society. We also provide many other essential services including:
The number of calls for assistance from people in need increases year on year. In 2021 we received over 191,000 requests for assistance. Without your support, much of what we do would be impossible. We rely primarily on the generosity of the people of Ireland to carry out much of what we do.
Donations make a significant difference for those who need it most across Ireland. Your contributions are vital, and we deeply appreciate your support.
Here's our commitment to you:
Your support enables us to continue our mission of helping those in need throughout Ireland. Thank you for making a difference.
