The people who attend the Centre -
Every person needs to belong and have a place where they are respected and have their basic needs met in a caring and non-judgemental way. For most people this is where they call home and in an ideal world, families can share the normal ups and downs of life in privacy behind their own hall door. Sadly some people must spend their days trying to find shelter from the weather, a place to rest and prepare before going out to face the day. Their most basic needs are access to toilet facilities, somewhere to wash and change their clothes, decent hot meals, someone to interact with. Many people lack what most of us take for granted and have no security as to where they will lay their heads that night. While this is tragic for adults, it is heart breaking for families with children who are forced to move from place to place with no stability as to their living conditions.

Rosie & Jim are humbled to donate €2500 to the The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul Ireland Annual Appeal.
For almost two centuries now, caring souls like you have been at the heart of a proud SVP tradition of giving to people facing great hardship at Christmas. Amy’s family are really struggling. Her father lost his small business last year and he’s trying to keep everything together. But he can’t keep up with all the bills. As prices continue increasing, he just can’t afford food and fuel. Some days he has to choose between feeding his children or keeping them warm. That is unless Amy’s father picks up the phone to SVP… and you are there to answer. Your donation today will help families like Amy’s with basics such as food and fuel. You could give them some breathing space to pay their bills and keep their home warm. You can make sure they don’t have to skip meals. You can reach out your hand to a neighbour in need. You could save a family from impossible choices this Christmas. So please, if you can, support our Annual Appeal and make a special Christmas gift to SVP today. Thank you for helping families in need in your local community.
