The aim of the SVP is to assist where there is material or spiritual poverty.
The work of the St Peter-in-Chains SVP consists largely of visiting the elderly, many of whom are housebound. We provide furniture, clothes and other goods to families when resources are available.
The SVP also sponsor children’s summer holidays and provide Christmas hampers to those we assist. This is possible thanks to the generosity of parishioners who donate to two special retiring collections each year.
We are twinned with an SVP conference in Orissa, India.
We do not meet as a group on a regular basis as our efforts are focused on providing practical assistance. Meetings are published in the Newsletter. If you are interested in speaking to one of the group to find out more then please contact the Parish Office.
