Thanks for your support.

We had a small wake today and there was lots of food left over so we called St Vincent's and they collected it all.❤️

Most people know homelessness is dangerous in winter. But did you know hot weather can be just as deadly?"
While many of us seek shade, cold drinks and sun protection, people sleeping rough often have nowhere to escape the heat.

We are asking our community to help us provide: 💧 Bottled Water
🧴 Sunscreen
🧢 Hats and Sun Protection

Your small donation could make a huge difference to someone's health and wellbeing this summer.

💙 Real Stories. Real Help. Real Impact. 💙

At St Vincent's Southend, we work alongside our fantastic partners at Acts 435 to provide direct support to local people facing hardship.

Through the Acts 435 platform, you can choose to support a specific need for someone in our community – whether that's a bed, essential household items, clothing, travel costs, or other urgent necessities. Every request is linked to a real person with a real story.

Together, we can make a genuine difference to the lives of local people when they need it most.

Take a look, choose a need that speaks to you, and help bring hope to someone today.
