Twenty four hours a day, every day of the year, The Salvation Army provide care and support to people in need. In fact it's what we've done for over 150 years. It is what we continue to do today and it's what we will go on doing whenever and wherever there is injustice and pain in the world.

We help people affected by disasters or financial troubles. We help people who are experiencing homelessness or escaping violence. We help people trapped in addiction or battling mental illness.  We help anyone feeling hopeless. We are a community - a movement of people fighting injustice. Our donors and supporters- people like you - are as much a part of The Salvation Army as those working in our recovery centres or regional communities. 

Together we offer unconditional love and support, without discrimination. The Salvation Army is committed to delivering innovative and progressive services that empower people beyond their circumstances. Our services are as diverse as the areas of need within the communities in which we live. Together, we can really and truly make a difference in the lives of many.

If you would like to support the mission and ministry of Histon Salvation Army including our Care & Share Shop and our work in and around the villages of Histon & Impington, we would warmly welcome your contribution via our JustGiving Fundraising Page.

History

As a Church The Salvation Army has been part of the local Histon and Impington community since 1896. For 125 years we have operated on the basis of the financial giving of our Church members and the generosity of the public. In fact 100% of the profits from our Charity Shop on the High Street are spent on our local work supporting local people. The existing Corps building was small and limited the programme The Salvation Army is able to provide on site.

Re-development works

Histon Salvation Army has recently undergone some major extension and refurbishment works. The previous one large roomed Hall has been extended to the rear to incorporate a second Hall providing opportunities for both new community and Christian faith based activities. The re-development works offer greater flexibility and creativity through the provision of the two rooms. A new working office also makes it easier for Corps Officers to be on site to offer Chaplaincy and Support Services. Works commenced in mid February 2020 and the works completed around May 2021.

What do the works include?

• A new extension to the rear of the existing building;
• The provision of new toilets and a new much larger kitchen;
• The refurbishment of the existing Church Hall;
• Significantly improved accessibility for disabled and wheelchair users;
• Bi-fold doors to the rear garden creating a unique indoor and outdoor space.

These improvements have also enabled the existing playgroup; 'Ladybirds', to enjoy their own space whilst the church continues to grow through community outreach programmes.

The construction of this project has comprised modern, innovative and technological design features that all fully comply with environmental, safe mission and fire safety guidelines.
