St. Benedict - Clydach at 41 Pontardawe Road, Clydach, SWANSEA SA6 5NS UK - SVP Clydach Conference

SVP Clydach Conference

Since 1833 members of the Saint Vincent de Paul Society have given their distinctive Person to Person help to individuals and families. No act of Charity is beyond the Society's remit.

What we do:

Help the needy, Feed the hungry, Clothe the naked, Help the homeless, Visit prisoners.

Help the needy - Helping Families and the Elderly:

Visiting people and families in their home, in nursing homes or hospital, probably forms the majority of the work the SVP members conduct. The local volunteers will know the area - its problems and its opportunities - and can lend a helping hand where necessary. The largest problem is perhaps loneliness. An hour spent in chat means so much.

Clothe the naked:  Many Conferences have access to a clothing store, enabling them to provide good quality clothing and foot wear to people in need.

Locally, the Menvia Special Works group is responsible for:

The Swansea Soup Run: SVP Swansea Soup Run supply soup, tea, coffee, sandwiches, fresh fruit and a friendly chat on an outreach project that covers Swansea City Centre, Uplands and The Marina. On Monday and Friday between 10pm and 2am up to 20 rough sleepers are helped. The SVP also help men and women off the streets by supplying furniture to start them up in their own homes.

Currently under abeyance.
