Vincentian Values
The Depaul Group began in the UK in 1989 at the initiative of the late Cardinal Basil Hume, as a response to the needs of the growing numbers of homeless people on the streets of London. Vincentian values are at the heart of what we do, they focus on:
- A commitment to rights and responsibilities.
- A focus on putting our words into action.
- Taking a wider role in civil society.
- A belief in the potential of people.
