STAYING IN TOUCH DURING COVID-19
"We have been keeping the communication open with all our contacts made prior to and during the pandemic lockdowns by checking in to ask how they are doing, by dropping them a letter or card, making phone calls, dropping off shopping essentials and supporting them in times of need.
If you, or someone you know needs our support, please do not hesitate to contact us by dropping a letter to SSVP into the baskets, when available again, or through the letterbox at the Church House.
Looking forward to better times ahead for all of us, however until then we will keep you in our prayers and be available when you need to talk
to SSVP."

ABOUT SSVP
"Scotland’s 2000 SSVP volunteer members provide support and assistance to people across the country on a daily basis. Working in 300 groups, they assist people in need in the best way that they can.
SSVP Conferences (groups) respond to needs in their communities. This usually means visiting people in their homes, in hospital, hospices or in prison. For many people, this visit is all that they need. However, in meeting people in this way, SSVP volunteers get to know people.They may then go on and provide help or assistance in other ways.
Since being founded in 1833 by Frederic Ozanam and a group of friends, home visits have been at the core and heart of the work of SSVP members. The SSVP always works hard to respond to changing needs and has now established 'Special Works' which provide one particular service."
