The Big Collection is a fundraising challenge for members, friends, and volunteers of Salvation Army churches to raise money for our social and community programmes.

Unfortunately this year due to the pandemic we are unable to collect door to door or with standing days so we have had to get creative...so as part of The Salvation Army in Milton Keynes effort towards The Big Collection i am getting on my bike.

Over the course of this month i aim to complete 100km on my bike and i am inviting you to sponsor me.

Below is a bit more information about how your sponsoring me will help the work we do...

How much has The Big Collection raised?

Last year The Big Collection raised £1.5 million – thank you! This is a significant contribution towards The Salvation Army’s social and community programmes. 

How does The Salvation Army use my donation to The Big Collection?

All donations to the Big Collection directly support The Salvation Army’s work to care for people who are vulnerable or in need. This includes supporting people experiencing homelessness, running care homes and day centres for older people, reuniting families through our Family Tracing Service and providing a place of safety for adult victims of modern slavery.

Through a network of over 650 churches and community centres, we offer compassionate support, a listening ear and practical help to those in need. Our work includes:

• Supporting men, women and families who are experiencing homelessness
• Running care homes and day centres for older people
• Reuniting families through our Family Tracing Service
• Offering training and advice to people looking for sustained employment
• Providing a place of safety for adult victims of modern slavery

If you are able to sponsor me thank you, it will make my sweat and tears worthwhile and of course will make a big difference to many people's lives.

Thank you!
