SVP run a number of services including Community and Family Resource Centres that focus on the personal, educational and social development of the individual. Our Resource Centre’s provide a safe, welcoming place for people to learn and grow, to develop new skills. Here they can meet others and make new friends that will have a positive impact in people's lives.

The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul operates a number of Resource Centres countrywide - in Dublin, Wicklow, Galway, Kerry and Mayo.
