As we step into the new year, the challenges facing St Vincent’s Centre, Southend, continue to grow. Despite our relentless efforts, securing grants has been more difficult than ever, making it harder to cover the core costs that keep our essential services running. Without funding for rent, utilities, and staff, we risk losing the stability that so many people rely on.

St Vincent’s is a place of Help, Hope, and Opportunity—a safe space where people struggling with homelessness, poverty and mental health challenges can find support, warmth and a path forward. Every donation, no matter how small, helps keep the doors open and ensures that we can provide meals, support programs and vital services for those in need.

Real Impact: Matt came to us lost, struggling with addiction and a lack of direction. Through our Pioneer Program, he discovered a passion for 3D printing, regained confidence and is now leading workshops for others looking to rebuild their lives. Without the core funding to run the Centre, stories like Matt’s wouldn’t be possible.
