Serve Others Without Discrimination

The Salvation Army responds to people without discrimination. God calls us to be with the people we serve.

In ‘being with’ people – as against ‘doing for’ people – together we find solutions and make progress because we are all made in the image of God. We are called to share love in a too often loveless world. ‘Love God, Love Others’ inspires every aspect of our work.

The coronavirus pandemic and termination of Government financial support have led to an increase in demand of people seeking The Salvation Army’s debt advice services. According to Lorraine Cook, Financial Inclusion Development Manager, ‘Managing debt is more than just a repayment plan, we can provide food parcels as well as letters to creditors and maintain a relationship with that person throughout their journey, linking them up with their local Salvation Army for ongoing support.’
