Every year The Salvation Army's Big Connection brings in vital funds that support our social work. Funds from The Big Connection help to finance our facilities and provide care for those experiencing homelessness, survivors of modern slavery, the elderly, those facing financial crises, and more.

An example of how The Big Connection funds are used to change barriers into opportunities.

Rachel is a single mother with three young children. She was determined to support them, instead of depending on benefits. But she was told that her childcare commitments made finding a job unlikely.

At The Salvation Army’s Employment Plus she found a different approach. We listened to Rachel, learned about her skills and her drive to make things work. Rachel found her ideal job a few weeks later.

You can also help our cause by telling your friends and family about the work our Employment Plus services are doing to help job seekers to get a job and stay in work.

Sharing our Just Giving page on your social media is also very helpful to us.
