SSVP NEWS UP-DATE: January 2024

SSVP “Our recent activities include providing financial support to three twinned parishes in India and South Africa. We have also made              significant financial contributions to St Vincent's Hospice, Jericho House, which is an SSVP project giving help to those experiencing          addiction issues, SSVP Furniture Project, and SSVP Homeless Kitchen  (Our Lady of the Wayside). We have also helped local families                experiencing difficulty due to the cost of living crisis. We visit local nursing homes, and also parishioners in their own homes. In December we provided a Christmas Lunch for our parishioners. None of these activities would be possible without your continued generosity.  At this time of year we wanted to convey our sincere thanks to everyone who has donated to St Cadoc's SSVP. We are extremely grateful and                appreciative of all your help. With sincere thanks, SSVP Team. 
If you would you like to join our SSVP, please speak with Canon Eddie or a member after Mass; or phone 07561 640489.

"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."
