Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul Services has announced it is to close later this year after completing its stated goal of developing its subsidiary charities. Founded in 2012 by the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul, the charity was created to unite six Vincentian charities within a single group structure, providing governance, shared services, infrastructure and formation during a period of transition to lay-led leadership.

In a statement, the charity said: “Over the past 14 years, that model has enabled the member charities to flourish. Today, each organisation has developed strong governance, independent leadership and a deep commitment to the Vincentian charism, allowing them to continue their mission with confidence as autonomous charities.”
