National Meeting 2024

A very fruitful SSVP Scotland National Meeting took place on Saturday 31st August bringing together SSVP Members from all across Scotland, as well as some other guests. The Meeting began with Holy Mass being said by Bishop Andrew McKenzie and concelebrated with SSVP diocesan Spiritual directors.

What we do

SSVP Conferences (groups) respond to needs in their communities. This usually means visiting people in their homes, in hospital, hospices or in prison. For many people, this visit is all that they need. However, in meeting people in this way, SSVP volunteers get to know people. They may then go on and provide help or assistance in other ways.

A community of friends

Since being founded in 1833 by Frederic Ozanam and a group of friends, home visits have been at the core and heart of the work of SSVP members. The SSVP always works hard to respond to changing needs and has now established ‘Special works’, which provide one particular service.
