As the Church Leaders of The Salvation Army in Harwich, we have organised a co-ordinated approach with other churches and other agencies in the town to support those who are isolated and vulnerable within our community.

Harwich Helps is the umbrella name for the multi-agency approach that we are using to support those who are finding themselves isolated because of the coronavirus. We will give the people living in Harwich, Dovercourt and the surrounding area the opportunity to contact us to ask for help and to be a listening ear.

To make this possible, The Salvation Army in Harwich will be coordinating the financial donations coming in to make this support possible.

ALL MONEY DONATED TO THIS PAGE WILL BE USED TO SUPPORT LOCAL PEOPLE WHO ARE AFFECTED WITH THE CORONAVIRUS AND UNABLE TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THEMSELVES.

many thanks for your financial support

Lieutenants Shawn & Vic Moye
