The Society of St Vincent de Paul was founded in Paris in 1833 by a group of Catholic students who, led by Frederic Ozanam, aimed to put their faith into action through direct contact and assistance to the poor. Inspired by the work and teachings of St Vincent de Paul, a priest who abandoned the profit of an ecclesiastical career at the Royal Court in favour of working with the marginalised and forgotten poor of France in the 1600s, the group placed itself under his patronage. A few years after its foundation, the organisation had grown in numbers and soon spread to other countries. By 1844, the first Conference of Charity had been formed in England & Wales. Today we operate across England & Wales in a variety of special projects, including shops, support centres, local community work and other special works.

We will accept payment by paypal or credit card. If you would like to pay by credit card once you have won the auction, please contact our National Office on 020 7407 4644 with your credit/debit card details and auction number to hand.

Depending on the item we may be able to ship, in which case the auction will clearly specify this. In cases where we are unable to ship, collection from the SVP shop will be required and the auction will state at which shop the item is being held. Unfortuantely, at present, we are unable to ship outside of the UK.
