Our work
We put our faith into action at the heart of the community
Our Christian mission - and therefore our work - is based on a passionate belief that our faith demands expression in action as well as words.
That is why we provide practical help for people in need, defend those who are vulnerable and abused, and fight against injustice. The services we provide are diverse, reflecting the needs of the communities we serve.
We work nationally and in local communities through our 650 churches and community centres throughout the UK and Ireland, to serve those who most need our help. We work with decision makers to ensure the views of vulnerable people are heard. We also support international development projects. Read about our varied work.
When I came to The Salvation Army I had no hope and no future, but now I've got a new sense of purpose.
