WHO WE ARE

Vincentian Care at the Margins.

For more than a decade, Daughters of Charity Services has united a family of frontline charities that bring practical compassion where poverty, loneliness and exclusion hit hardest.

A Family of Vincentian Charities

We are Daughters of Charity Services, a family of Vincentian charities across Great Britain dedicated to improving the lives of people experiencing the effects of poverty, as inspired by the life of St Vincent de Paul.

Despite our charities being highly diverse, they share a great history and a common commitment to a set of Vincentian values. Each of our front line charities were established by the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul - a worldwide network of Catholic women founded by St Vincent de Paul, who for centuries have dedicated their lives serving those living in poverty.

In the context of the ageing population of the Daughters, and consequently their reduced presence, Daughters of Charity Services was founded in 2012 by the Daughters in Great Britain to ensure the Vincentian charism and ethos - which has driven the charitable works of the Daughters across the world for almost 400 years - continues to live in practice within our charities, and that the voices of those living in poverty are heard. 

Shared Services, Shared Mission

Daughters of Charity Services functions as a central resource hub for the benefit of our wider family. Our core team provides a range of tailored support services to ensure our front line work is well placed to continue to respond to current and emerging poverties. We offer practical support with: finance, fundraising, human resources, operations and strategy, campaigning and communications and, crucially, living out our shared values. 

OUR FAMILY OF CHARITIES

At this pivotal moment, we are choosing to be more intentional and vocal about the emerging poverties and urgent needs we are witnessing in our communities. These challenges are shaping the direction of our work and deepening our commitment to driving meaningful change.

Over the coming years, our efforts will focus on strengthening and expanding the impact of our existing group charities, while also developing new initiatives and advocating for long-term, practical solutions to these growing issues.
