Dermot McGilloway, National Retail Development Manager; Mark Cooke from East Belfast Mission; Pauline Brown, SVP Regional Manager; Cormac Wilson, SVP Regional Senior Vice President; Kathy Donnelly, an Area President, and Aidan Crawford, SVP Regional President.

SVP’s Regional President, Aidan Crawford, said: “SVP’s key purpose is to alleviate poverty and our shops play a vital role in this service.

“They are a lifeline to many who visit the shop to purchase affordable necessities and an important source of revenue for the charity.”

“We know that many people have clear-outs in the run-up to Christmas so I would ask them to consider donating items to their local St Vincent’s.”

Local outlets are at William Street in Lurgan, Tullygally Shopping centre and Moyraverty Centre in Craigavon.
