Hear from the people whose lives have been changed thanks to your donations
Thousands of people will turn to The Salvation Army for help this winter. In over 600 communities across the UK we will be rolling our sleeves up and doing all we can for them.
Thanks to your generous donations we have been able to support people like Stephen overcome addiction and get off the streets for good.
We run food banks year-round from many of our churches and community centres.
As a result of the cost of living crisis, some food banks have seen a dramatic rise in need. Our dedicated teams of staff and volunteers are packing and delivering boxes of essential food supplies to those who need it most.
