Mini Vinnies
Who are the Mini Vinnies?
The Mini Vinnies are quite literally mini St. Vincent de Paul’s.
Mini Vinnies are 7 to 11 year olds based in schools and parishes across England and Wales, and in several other countries across the world. They come together to form a part of the St. Vincent de Paul Society England and Wales, a voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty in all its forms. Mini Vinnies meet to pray, discuss and support however they can to help make a difference in their communities.
Some of the fantastic work our Mini Vinnies have done so far:
- Set up a food bank collection point in school.
- Parish Tea Party
- Activities with our local nursing home
- Letters of kindness to those in our local area
- Christmas gifts to the local Luncheon Club
- Reverse Advent calendar – collecting food for local food banks
- Positivity quotes distributed during mental Health Awareness Week
- Fundraising for Cafod and the Good Shepherd Collection by arranging the following competitions:
Name the Sheep – Guess the name and win this cuddly sheep
Find the Lost Sheep – Locate the lost sheep on a giant grid and win a very large Easter egg.
Easter activities with the residents of our local nursing home.
