Your local Salvation Army Community Church is always trying to help others; whether it is through providing services like parent and toddler groups, friendship groups, emergency food parcels, a listening ear or simply offering good company.
We believe that every life is a gift from God and should be given respect without discrimination; and so we strive to meet the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of those who would appreciate our help.

At Christmas time your local Salvation Army provides hundreds of toys and parcels to children and families who are struggling to cope, as referred to us by social services and schools.
We also provide emergency food parcels alongside referrals to the Norwood & Brixton Foodbank.
On Christmas Day we provide a 4-course Christmas Dinner for those within our community who would otherwise be on their own or struggling to cope (please email Philip.Layton@salvationarmy.orguk if you or someone you know would like to attend!)
Your donations help us achieve these goals - thank you!

Our deepest desire is to share our love of Jesus and point people to the free gift of forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life which is available - but not everyone wants to hear the good news, and so we respect that too!
The Salvation Army is a Christian Church & registered Charity working in 130 countries and is one of the largest and most diverse providers of social welfare in the world.

We provide unconditional friendship, support and very practical help to people in crisis and need and work with children, homeless people, all adult victims of modern slavery and those dealing with drug and/or alcohol addiction.
