Salvation Army appeals for small change to make a big difference during its September Big Collection
Date published: 31 August 2018
Transforming lives in every community - The Salvation Army
Salvation Army members, friends and volunteers will be out raising funds this September hoping for its most successful Big Collection to date.
The annual appeal raises money to support work in communities across the UK and Republic of Ireland, with every penny donated going directly to people that need it most.
Last year £1.6 million in cash was donated by generous supporters and, with no administration costs, all the money helped ensure that outreach work could continue to benefit communities The Salvation Army is present in.
Salvation Army members will adopt a number of fundraising methods during this period, including entertaining shoppers on high streets and outside supermarkets with bands, and carrying out door to door visits during September.
Donations will help Salvation Army services that support people who are homeless, victims of modern slavery, families in poverty, individuals struggling with unemployment, people battling addiction and vulnerable older people who are lonely.
All collectors will be carrying a permit, which can be shown on request, and will only ask for cash donations in Salvation Army donation envelopes or a sealed Salvation Army collection tin. Donations can also be made to The Big Collection by visiting www.salvationarmy.org.uk/BigCollection or by texting BCOL18 £3 (or any amount) to 70070.
