Christmas Appeal: Give the gift of kindness, urges Sheffield Volunteer Group

The Lowfield-based St Vincent de Paul Society provides essential furniture and household items to families and people facing hardship in all its forms.

His Christmas call for kindness goes out on November 30 and runs throughout the month of December. It will raise funds for the work of the SVP at the local level and thanks to donors, all contributions will be matched pound for pound up to £ 45,000.

The company is an international Catholic volunteering organization and National President Helen O’Shea has said: need, or maybe even want.

“But donate to the SVP this Christmas and you can be sure you’re giving someone who has very little exactly what they need most.

“We know this is true because we spend time with each person we help and support, listening to them, understanding their situation and finding out how we can best help them cope with the challenges in their lives.

“So whether it’s a piece of furniture in a kid’s room or an emergency food package for a hungry family, we’ll turn every donation into the perfect gift. “

Company bosses say that for nearly 35 years, St Vincent’s Sheffield has been a welcoming haven for the city’s residents and has transformed thousands of lives.
