The Salvation Army is a registered charity and church working in 130 countries worldwide and is one of the largest and most diverse providers of social welfare in the world. In the UK and Republic of Ireland this work includes more than 800 Salvation Army social service centres and community churches. We provide unconditional friendship, support and very practical help to people in crisis and need and work with children, older people, homeless people, all adult victims of modern slavery and those dealing with drug and/or alcohol addiction.

Every September the Salvation Army hold their Big Collection annual appeal to raise vital funds for its diverse programme of life-changing social and community services throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland.

For those who know me I'm not exactly built for this kind of challenge, but I will give everything I have in order to raise money for this vital work
