SSVP 1833 at Glasgow University

SSVP Youth includes our Mini Vinnies and Senior Vinnies school programmes, and we’re also growing our SSVP 1833 groups tosupport young adults aged 18–35 on their Vincentian journey.
new National Youth Development Coordinator recently met up with the Glasgow University SSVP1833 Conference. This group of inspiring young adults are living their faith through action.

The Glasgow group shared some of the impactful ways they’re serving their local community. This includes weekly street outreach supporting individuals experiencing homelessness, where members offer refreshments, hygiene packs, and signposting to services. During the winter months, they distribute essential night kits including hand warmers and thermal wraps to provide warmth and comfort.

Their commitment doesn’t stop there. The group also runs a 10-week literacy tutoring programme in two local primary schools, using reading activities and games to support pupils—particularly those with English as an additional language.

Alongside these projects, the students volunteer at a local clothes bank and regularly take part in fundraising initiatives to sustain and expand their efforts.
