ASG are proud to continue our association with St. Vincent De Paul (SVP) by sponsoring four Golf Tees at the recent Irish Aviation Golf Classic. A record 152 golfers showed their support for the Irish Aviation Golf Challenge this year, now in its 22nd year raising funds for SVP. The event has raised over €252,000.
Other ASG activities to raise funds for SVP have included publishing a selection of aviation photographs into a collection called Irish Air Spectacular where ASG purchased 50 x fantastic A3 calendar featuring stunning aviation photography from “Irish Air Spectacular“ for a competition giveaway.
About SVP
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVP) was founded in Ireland in 1844. It is the largest voluntary charitable organisation in Ireland. During its history it has helped people in need through a Famine, a Civil War, a War of Independence, two World Wars and several economic recessions.
Their focus is on practical approach to dealing with poverty, alleviating its effects on individuals and families through working primarily in person-to-person contact by a unique system of family visitation and seeking to achieve social justice and equality of opportunity for all citizens.
In addition to providing direct assistance to those in need, caring for the homeless, providing social housing, operating holiday homes and other social support activities, the Society promotes community self-sufficiency, enabling people to help themselves. Any assistance offered by the Society is given in a non-judgemental spirit, based on the needs of the individual or family seeking help.
The Society respects the dignity of those who contact us, offering assistance and advice when sought, maintaining their dignity while assisting them towards long-term self-sufficiency in a relationship of friendship, trust and confidentiality.
