Mini Vinnies
Who are the Mini Vinnies?
Mini Vinnies follow in the footsteps of Christ and St Vincent de Paul.
The Mini Vinnies are the youngest members of the St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP), an international Christian voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty in all its forms by providing practical assistance to people in need.
The Mini Vinnies get together in primary schools and parishes across England and Wales to live out their mission of see, think, do, supporting their school community and beyond alongside the SVP. Most Mini Vinnies are between the ages of seven and eleven, but even children as young as five are living out the mission too.
Mini Vinnies turn concern into action by…
Praying for those in need
Making cards for those who may be sick, isolated, lonely or in prison
Visiting local care homes to sing and share stories with residents
Taking part in arts and crafts to share with others
Running food collections for a local food bank
Supporting other children in their school or parish
A gift from the Mini Vinnie's - M&M Easter prayer
Mini Vinnies gifted a bag of M&Ms to the adults in school as gift for their hard work towards Easter and after all their efforts in Holy Week.
