Vincent’s Killarney has won the Team of the Year Award at the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul’s annual conference.

The awards were presented at the Vincent’s 2024 Retail Conference held earlier this month (6th June) in University College Cork attended by approximately 200 volunteers and managers from the Vincent’s network of shops throughout Ireland.

“Vincent’s shops are important to their local communities, generating surpluses that are used to support those most in need in those communities and operating in a sustainable manner.

There are over 230 SVP shops throughout Ireland, trading under the ‘Vincent's’ name.

Vincent’s shops are a hugely important aspect of the service SVP provides to those who seek its assistance. Not only do the shops provide goods at affordable prices and help reconnect people, disconnected by poverty, they also provide an income source for the Society, which is directed back into the local communities,” said an SVP spokesperson.
