About

We support vulnerable people needing support with emotional, social, financial, spiritual through direct support or sign posting.

We have a support centre called St Vincent’s Centre, Southend which provides a wrap around service for all necessities including food, tempory accommodation, utilities support, council tax support, clothing and housing furniture support. Then we offer opportunities for people to stabilise their mental health through programmes and support within the centre and our allotments. Finally we help people plan forward to help them start a fresh life with a person centred and trauma informed approach. We do all this in partnership with Southend charities and groups knowing that if you knock on our door you knock on the door of our whole community support. We look forward in welcoming you to our Southend City where we Turn Concern into Action.
