The Vincentian Volunteer programme gives young people (18-30 approx.) the opportunity of a meaningful one year volunteering experience in a Christian context. Volunteers live together for a year, sharing faith and community while working in charitable projects.
These include such projects as day centres, hostels for homeless people, special schools for the visually impaired and nurseries for families who otherwise could not afford childcare. Volunteers consistently describe their volunteer year as instructive, fulfilling and fun.
The volunteer programme has been running for the past 16 years in the UK. In that time, over 200 young people have been volunteers. They have served a large number of disadvantaged people and, it is hoped, have made positive differences. Many of the Volunteers have gone on to work in caring professions.
The volunteer year is from September 2009 until July 2010. If you would like to know more please contact Sr Barbara Quilty DC at 0161 226 9561 or 0161 209 9156. Email barbaraquilty@hotmail.co.uk or visit www.vincentianvolunteers.org
