Every year in Letchworth we knock on peoples doors asking for donations, arrange a summer concert and hold coffee mornings to help raise money for the Big Collection. This year we have not been able to do those things, yet the  demand for our services has increased dur to Covid -19

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.

The Salvation Army is a Christian Church & registered Charity working in 130 countries worldwide and is one of the largest and most diverse providers of social welfare in the world. In the UK and Republic of Ireland this work includes more than 800 Salvation Army social service centres and community churches. We provide unconditional friendship, support and very practical help to people in crisis and need and work with children, homeless people, all adult victims of modern slavery and those dealing with drug and/or alcohol addiction.
