May I thank everyone who has supported the work of The Salvation Army through our recent Red Shield Appeal? The appeal raises necessary funds to support the social and community work of The Salvation Army throughout the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
The Salvation Army is noted for its service to the elderly, the homeless, those struggling with alcohol or chemical dependency, and its support of the emergency services.
The people of East Lancashire have been kind in their support.
Maj James Van Cleef Commanding Officer, The Salvation Army, Vicar Street, Blackburn.
