So delighted that we have reached our £200 target. Our beneficiary is so pleased and grateful for the opportunity to improve her health and wellbeing as she lives with a chronic condition, but also the opportunity to enjoy time in the pool with her daughter.

A huge thank you to all the generous people who donated to this request via Acts 435

This SVP conference only need to raise £100 to complete this funding request -please help if you can

A mum and her young daughter need your help. 💙

A local mum is rebuilding her life after escaping domestic abuse. Living with a long-term health condition has left her unable to work, and every penny is currently going towards the essentials while she waits for the outcome of a benefits application.

🏊🏿🛟One thing that has made a real difference to both her health and her daughter's wellbeing is swimming together. It helps ease the pain of her condition and gives them precious time together as they recover from a very difficult chapter in their lives.

We've launched an Acts 435 appeal to help fund a year's discounted swimming membership, alongside support from our local SVP Conference.

If you're able to give, even a small donation could help this family continue their journey towards healing, health and hope.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and supported our recent Acts 435 appeal for a tumble dryer for a local family with six children.

We are delighted to say that the full amount has now been raised. Your generosity and kindness will make a real difference to this family as they settle into their new home and manage the daily challenges they are facing.

Thank you for helping the St Vincent de Paul Society (England & Wales) turn concern into action and for showing such compassion to a family in need. Please keep them in your prayers.

Funding Request: Tumble Dryer

The SVP in Wolverhampton are supporting a local family with six children who are struggling financially after a recent move into private rented accommodation.

Due to debt repayments and deductions from Universal Credit, they are unable to afford a tumble dryer, which would make a huge difference for such a large household, especially with a toddler in the home.

If you would like to help, donations can be made safely through Acts 435 here: https://www.acts435.org.uk/give/R68233/

Every donation, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping us turn concern into action.
