Objectives

The Salvation Army is a worldwide Christian church and registered charity, which has been fighting against social inequality and transforming lives for over 150 years.

The Salvation Army expresses its faith through charitable action by working at the heart of communities across the UK and the Republic of Ireland. We have 650 churches and community centres where we offer friendship, practical help and support to some of the most disadvantaged people in our communities.

Motivated by our Christian faith we offer practical support and services to all who need them, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender or sexual orientation. Our work includes:

Activities

Our support focusses on the people who need us most. Across the UK and the Republic of Ireland, we:

  • Provide over 3,000 places every night in 82 lifehouses
  • Supported over 13,000 people through our Employment service
  • Supported over 11,000 victims referred to our modern slavery services

The United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland is part of the wider international Salvation Army, which changes lives in 131 countries around the world.

We involve volunteers in all aspects of our work and have recently started to recruit volunteers with specific skills and talents to help us with short to medium term project work that serves to impact how we deliver our mission services.
