Welcome

The Saint Vincent de Paul Society Conference at Saint Gregory the Great Parish in South Ruislip is a community of volunteers who aim to help others in practical ways. Our focus is hands-on, person-to-person care -- a friendly chat over a warm cup of tea. We are inspired by Christ's message to love our neighbour as ourselves, to feed the hungry, visit the imprisoned and befriend the lonely. Our neighbour is anyone in need in the local community, without regard to faith, ethnicity, status or sexual orientation.

Our main efforts include visiting people in the community who are housebound or isolated, running a weekly food bank, counselling those who have been recently bereaved and mentoring young adults. See our activities for more details on these.

Our membership is also open to anyone, of any background. The main requirement is a desire to help.

Two of our team are raising funds for the national SVP organisation by walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in April. Their walk starts on April 12 and lasts for 1 week. If you would like to help them reach their fund raising target then please use the Just Giving website.
