Vincentian Volunteers
Vincentian Volunteers are Christian young people aged 18-35, from all over the world, who commit a year of their lives to the service of vulnerable people. During their year with us, they live in a community of three or four people and engage in voluntary work in partnership with other, well known charity organisations in order to help the impoverished, the homeless, the disabled, refugees and those suffering with addictions within the local community.

We are a Christian organisation with a mission to provide care and support to those in need, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity and gender.
Our Mission Statement invites us to respond to the call of Christ in the Gospel, to be changed in ways we cannot yet understand. We believe that by being fully involved in the Vincentian Volunteer programme we will have opportunities, and be inspired to:
Deepen our understanding of Jesus Christ and His values
Open our hearts to, and be transformed by those we serve
Create a life-giving Christian community together
We accept the challenge to live in St Vincents spirit by:
Recognising Christ in the lives of those on the edge of society
Serving others in a respectful, loving and non-judgmental way
Supporting all organizations that work for justice and the elimination of poverty
Creating a supportive, prayerful environment for each other
