It’s Annual Appeal time of year again, when The Salvation Army take to the streets to raise vital funds for those in need. The theme of this years Appeal is ‘Belief in Action’ and sums up The Salvation Amy’s ethos of putting their Christian faith into action to help those in need.

Over the next few weeks members and friends from Bangor Salvation Army will be going door to door (and collecting on the streets) as they seek to raise vital funds to support their work.

The Salvation Army is one of the largest and most diverse providers of social welfare in the world. Through their four social centres in Belfast and Hollywood, The Salvation Army assist homeless families, homeless men and women and older residents who no longer feel able to live alone. Trained staff provide practical assistance but also offer professional support, helping people to deal with problems such as homelessness, domestic violence, parenting skills, drug and alcohol addiction, loneliness and despair.

As a charity The Salvation Army relies on public donations to help finance their work.
Your donation will help us to offer practical assistance and professional support, making a big difference to individual lives.”

Many people who turn to The Salvation Army are desperate for immediate support and assistance. Please be as generous as you can when you see the blue ‘Belief In Action’ envelopes coming through your door in the next few weeks - every donation, no matter how small makes a difference.

Donations can also be made to the Appeal by visiting The Salvation Army web site at www.salvationarmy.org.uk where you will also find a wealth of information on our work.

Help us put our beliefs into action

At The Salvation Army, we believe that no one is beyond hope. We believe that with the right help, love and support, people can overcome their problems, however great they may be. Every year our Annual Appeal helps us turn our beliefs into action that literally transforms lives.

With this year’s Appeal, we are aiming to raise £3 million for essential welfare and community work – ensuring we will be there for those in need. The love we give is freely given, but our services cost time, expertise and money. Our Annual Appeal is crucial if we are to continue to serve the needs of thousands of people every day.

Your support is so important to us all year round. While there are children suffering, while people are lonely and uncared for, and while people struggle to break the grip of evil our work must continue.

The proceeds of this appeal are devoted entirely to the social and community work of the Salvation Army in the United Kingdom and Ireland. None of it is used to support it's 'church' activities
