Mini Vinnies
Replies from companies on their use of Palm Oil
Campaign letters
The Mini Vinnies have been turning their concern into action! We have learnt about how the rainforest is being destroyed to get Palm Oil to go in everyday products. We learnt about an orangutan called Rang-Tan whose habitat was being destroyed by deforestation in the rainforest. We have now written campaign letters to the companies to let them know our concerns.

Uniform Sort
Our Mini Vinnies decided that they wanted to help others by sorting out lots of the uniform and anything with no names on could be taken to help others who need more uniform!
Mini Vinnie Committee Members
Our Committee display in the hall and our letters to our Pen Pals in the Care homes.
“I really like being a Mini Vinnie because I want to make a change for the whole world and to be beside Jesus. In my heart, I feel really proud of myself.”
Please take a look at these home- learning resources from the Mini Vinnies website: https://www.svp.org.uk/mini-vinnies
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. They might help by:
- Writing cards for children in hospital
- Visiting local care homes to sing or play games with the residents
- Knitting scarves for the homeless
- Running food collections for a local foodbank
What do Mini Vinnies do?
See…
Education and awareness. Becoming aware of some of the community’s social ills and knowing that although the world is beautiful, there are always ways to make it a bit better.
Think…
Formation. This a chance for Mini Vinnies to participate in spiritual activities, personal development and discussions, and to develop a real understanding of the world.
Do...
Community service and fundraising. ‘Doing’ means supporting the SSVP in its good works, and for the children to do something about the issues that they have seen, thought about or discussed.
