Warning about bogus collectors for SVP

The Society of St Vincent de Paul has received reports that bogus collectors, posing as SVP members, are conducting door-to-door collections in areas around Dublin and Wicklow.

The Kilcullen SVP branch engages in fund-raising activities from time to time, but it does not look for door-to-door collections or sponsorships. If anyone claiming to represent the society calls to your house looking for a donation or sponsorship, you can say 'No' with an easy mind.

The number for Kilcullen Garda Station is 045 481212 and the number for the local SVP Branch is 087 1506099.
