“St Vincent de Paul Society Wellington provides help to people needing welfare and support services within the Wellington area.

Fostered through the Society’s Vinnies Re Sew program, Suffrage in Stitches looks into our past, present and future, reminding all who have been involved that as New Zealanders we still face daily inequalities and ongoing struggles with poverty, homelessness and discrimination.

Projects like this help foster togetherness and create stronger communities that can support each other as well as support work done by charities like St Vincent de Paul, whose members are still working hard after 150 years to alleviate the stressors that societal inequalities have on people in Wellington and across New Zealand.”
