This year for our Winter Appeal we have run a present donation drive within the company for El Programa Integral Vicente de Paúl. All gifts have been donated and wrapped by our employees and have been delivered to the Soup Kitchen for the children of the families that have been using this service all year.

We have been donating to the charity for over 6 years and are proud to support the incredible work that they do in helping to care for vulnerable individuals and families within the local community. This year alone they have served over 114,991 meals through the María Inmaculada Soup Kitchen initiative. They also provide not only housing for families, but also create opportunities for social integration that help families in vulnerable situations overcome social exclusion.

We have also provided donations throughout the year that have helped the Project including computer equipment from our IT department as well as the donation of books from our employees. Back in October we were very grateful to receive the letter below to thank us for our continued contributions this year. El Programa Integral Vicente de Paúl works hard to provide opportunities for learning and growth for vulnerable individuals including educational opportunities, sessions on group theatre, art, and even domestic skills. Helping individuals improve their self-esteem and gain greater autonomy is a big part of El Programa Integral Vicente de Paúl’s work. They do this not only through the training workshops but also through support with job searching, with a dedicated employment counsellor, to help find relevant postings and recommend useful resources.
