Who are the Mini Vinnies?

The St Paulinus Mini Vinnies group is for children in Year 6. Mini Vinnies meet to pray, discuss , support and help make a difference to our school ,parish and wider community. Mini Vinnies truly turn concern into action as they use the simple formula of ‘see, think, do’ to find people in need and help them. Have a look at our page and see all the things we do to fulfil the Mini Vinnie promise.

Our group is part of the national Mini Vinnies organisation and we 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.
