Vincentian Manifesto: A Compassionate Vision for the UK

What kind of society do we want to be?

As the UK heads toward a general election, the Vincentian Family—rooted in faith, justice, and service—has released a bold manifesto calling for change. Not change for its own sake, but for the sake of those most often overlooked: the families struggling to make ends meet, the elderly waiting for care, the refugees left in limbo, and the thousands without a place to call home.

The Vincentian Manifesto isn’t written from Westminster corridors, but from lived experience: from care homes, food banks, parish halls, and community hubs across the country. Drawing on the voices of frontline workers and the people they serve, the manifesto identifies five urgent policy areas:

• Child and Family Poverty
• Adult Social Care
• Refugees and Asylum Seekers
• Inclusion and Isolation
• Housing and Homelessness

With each section, the document pairs grounded recommendations with a deeper call: to build a society that values human dignity above all else.

👀 Curious what lifting 250,000 children out of poverty would cost? Or how refugee policy reform could prevent homelessness and exploitation?
