Mini Vinnies

Mini Vinnies

The Mini Vinnies are quite literally mini St. Vincent de Paul’s.

At St Bede's, our Mini Vinnie group is made up of pupils across KS2. They come together fortnightly to form a part of the St. Vincent de Paul Society England and Wales, a voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty in all its forms. When Mini Vinnies meet, we pray and discuss ways in which can to help make a difference in our communities. 

Our Mini Vinnies truly turn concern into action as they use the simple formula of ‘see, think, do’ to find people in need and help them. Ways in which we help our school and our community include: 

• Running food collections for our local foodbank
• Making cards and crafts for our Parishioners
• Litter picking in the local area  
• Working closely with our Eco Club to look after our environment
• Supporting the school in celebrating special feast days such as the feast of St Bede.
