Read what some of our amazing volunteers have to say about St Vincent's Southend:

"Volunteering is so important to me. I wanted to do something to help others less fortunate than myself, especially at this very difficult time.- Jane

"Since volunteering at St Vincent's, we have always found it to be a friendly and sociable environment for both staff and clients. Everyone has always treated others with kindness and compassion. We know it's impossible to solve everyone's problems buy if volunteering just a few hours a week can bring a smile on someone vulnerable, and this is a safe place for all at the moment. We have found volunteering at St Vincent's centre, Southend very enjoyable and such a rewarding experience."- Selina and Danny

"We volunteer as Knock and Drop delivery drivers as we know a lack of food is a big problem for so many people. Nobody, in this day and age, should be short of food." - Ann and Ray

"I volunteer because I want to give back to my community. I've always been concerned about homelessness and through the SVP, I can help others. My parents were squatting in an ex-army camp when my siblings were little so addressing homelessness and those vulnerably housed are important issues for me." - Sue

"I have been a volunteer with St Vincent's Southend since December 2020. I have seen first-hand the amazing work done by the team who provide help and support to approximately 300 vulnerable people per month." - Kenny
