Their aim is to tackle poverty in all its forms through the provision of practical assistance to those in need.

Meeting once a week or fortnightly either during lunchtimes or after school, Mini Vinnies members gather and pray together in their schools, to talk about those around them who need our help, and think of ways they can help those people.
