Story

I know that there is a lot going on in the world at present, as well as many concerns people have about Ukraine, cost of living, and the climate, but there are still millions of people who also need our help. I have been on the receiving end of funds when we managed projects in Africa. These were donated or raised by many people in different parts of the world. Walking to raise money is one way of saying 'thank you' and to engender further support for the great work done by the Army. I walked with our son, Duncan, as part of the Big Walk with the University of Sheffield. Duncan is raising funds for their charity. He was also going to be keeping an eye on his dad (now 70 years old!) The walk involved walking from Hope to the university - 33 miles and nearly 5000' of ascent.

The Salvation Army's mission is to equip, empower and enable communities around the world to defeat poverty and injustice, and to work with them to build a better life and future. We engage people to comprehend injustice and take action to restore our world as a place where justice, dignity and equality are a reality for all people. Our international work is divided into six themes: Anti-Trafficking, Clean Water, Emergency Response, Food Security, Gender Justice, and Income Generation. We work alongside communities to support local projects in each of these areas. £10 could provide a food parcel for a family following an emergency £20 could provide care and support to a survivor of human trafficking £30 could help to train farmers to make the best use of their land £35 could provide group therapy for women who have or are experiencing domestic violence£40 could provide the materials needed to teach a group of people to read£50 could give a family clean water for life. Thank you for supporting
