Spiritual Support


SSVP members "never claim that our work springs from ourselves alone". Your prayers are a much needed source of strength to us.

Whatever your faith you can help us. We particulary appreciate the prayers of people whose health prevents them from physical involvment in our work. If you would like some simple prayers why not look at our Publications Page.

Associate Membership


Perhaps you want to give your time and energy in a practical way but are not ready for the other commitments expected of full SSVP members. We always need helpers at bus outings, Christmas parties, centres for the homeless, furniture recycling. Sometimes our branches could do with experienced help with their bookkeeping. Drivers are always welcome. Whatever your skill we can put it to use. Check out your nearest SSVP branch as described above

 

Financial Support


Even if you do not have enough spare time to join in our work you can help us by donating money. One part of our work is offering material help such as furniture, caravan holidays and food to people who are struggling to cope. Traditionally we collect small amounts each week in our local parishes. We are equally happy to receive one-off donations. See more details on our Donations Page

Full Membership


Being a full SSVP member appeals to people who wish to develop their spiritual life through personal service of people in need. Our members meet regularly and visit people in their local community. They share spiritually and practically with other SSVP branches in Scotland and worldwide. It is a very rewarding experience. Find out your nearest SSVP branch and our members will tell you more.
