The Mini Vinnies are quite literally mini St. Vincent de Paul’s. At St. Ignatius we are proud to have established our Mini Vinnies group this year.
‘Mini Vinnies’ can be children aged between 7 to 11. At St Ignatius our Mini Vinnies group is made up of a group of pupils from Year 4 and 5 as are led by members of our RE team. If children wish to be a part of the Mini Vinnies group, they are invited to write a letter of application to our founding committee sharing why they believe they would be a wonderful member of the Mini Vinnie’s team, what personal attributes and skills they believe could help them in this role and share one fundraising idea they have.
Our Mini Vinnies group come together 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. Mini Vinnies meet to pray, discuss and support however they can to help make a difference in their communities.
Mini Vinnies is about doing good works in the community. The Vinnies model of ‘See, Think, Do’ is a great way to get young people thinking and talking about their spirituality; by connecting their beliefs and values with service activities and issues in their community, they can help to make their faith real, meaningful and relevant.
Our founding committee for this year consists of:
Year 4- Tiana and Pedro
Year 5-Brian and Jayden
