160 years of Hope, Help and Humanity

In 2025, the St Vincent de Paul Society WA, proudly celebrates 160 years of service to the community.

It’s a milestone that reflects not just the longevity of our organisation, but the enduring compassion, commitment and action of generations of Western Australians dedicated to helping those doing it tough.

Their lives were defined by uncertainty, with no safe place to land and no space to simply be children. This winter, your support could mean the difference between a warm bed and a cold street.
