Holy Cross Conference and Ss Philip and James Conference

Turning concern into action

The St Vincent de Paul Society is an international Christian charity which befriends those in need, and provides them with practical assistance – social or financial. It has been established in England and Wales since 1844 and there are currently over 10,000 members involved in its work.

Churches working together

The SVP at Holy Cross and Ss Philip & James Churches are working together to support isolated and vulnerable people in Bedford, by telephone or face-to-face visits in their homes, in care homes or hospital visits where necessary.  We can supply vital items of shopping, collect prescriptions from the chemist, carry out minor DIY or gardening, or give lifts to appointments.

Providing for the homeless and vulnerable

We also help with the Soup Run in Bedford town centre, to provide food, sandwiches, hot drinks and other treats for the homeless or vulnerable. We also run the “St Vincent’s” community group every Tuesday afternoon from 1pm until 3.30pm.

If you are in need of help or would like to help or find out more, please complete the Contact Form.

Alternatively, please phone 07845 121557.
