The Salvation Army is delighted to have joined forces with the Sunday Express this Christmas to help people during the festive season and to provide ongoing assistance to those most in need throughout the year.
The Salvation Army ensures that your donation will be used where it’s needed most. With 91p out of every pound donated going towards supporting vulnerable people in communities across the country, your contribution truly makes a difference.
The Salvation Army is calling on those with the warmest hearts so we can support you this Christmas, as we have been for well over 150 years. This festive season, join us celebrating much-loved Christmas traditions and giving vulnerable people a Christmas worth remembering.
For most of us, Christmas stands out amid the gloomy winter days as a beacon of warmth, family, and togetherness.
Yet in communities throughout the country, there are people cut off from the love and safety and joy that Christmas ought to herald. People without a warm home of their own, families who can’t afford to buy their children a Christmas gift; people who find themselves without friends or family at a time of year when those things are most precious.
Putting faith into action this Christmas
The Salvation Army will be putting Christian faith into action by giving people in need a Christmas worth remembering and transforming lives so they can enjoy many more memorable Christmases in the future.
We know that Sunday Express readers have warm hearts. In previous years you’ve helped raise money for mental health services, fed school children whose families struggled in the cost-of-living crisis, helped schools acquire books, and donated toys. Can we at The Salvation Army count on your generosity, your Christmas spirit and your belief in the work of The Salvation Army to support us this year?
Spreading joy this Christmas
The way we spread Christmas joy varies depending on the needs of the varied communities we work in. Help can be anything from food parcels, supporting people into work, debt advice, school uniform banks, and Christmas meals for people who are lonely or isolated.
As a church and a charity, we are grateful to the Sunday Express and its readers for shining a light on our work and sharing comfort and joy this Christmas.
You can find the wonderful coverage that the Sunday Express has given us this Christmas season online – including interviews with Andre Portasio, former partner of Salvation Army and TV legend Paul O’Grady, and Shakin’ Stevens – Salvation Army stalwart and ‘Merry Christmas Everyone’ hitmaker.
