Story
My mum Sue was a big part of the Salvation Army in her younger years, she met Dad there when she was a teenager, they married and were together for over 60 years, mum passed away in August 2020 of pancreatic cancer which went undiagnosed, she passed away just two weeks before mum and dads 50th wedding anniversary.
I’m so proud of the work mum did at the Salvation Army and the work they do to end homelessness that I want to put the two things together in one of the biggest challenges of my life!
Homelessness is a reality of our society. From street homelessness to those battling addiction, the services we offer put the person and their needs at the centre of their support - enabling people to take control of their life circumstances.We passionately believe that no one is beyond hope, however great their problems. So very often, through our care, support, practical help and the time we freely give, people find the strength to turn their lives around. Above all, we are a friend to people who have nowhere else to turn, offering love and hope in place of despair.
