justice

Is At The Heart Of What

The Salvation Army does in Australia. In late 2021, the Salvos checked in with over fifteen thousand Australians across the country. We found that Australians care deeply about social injustice – but don’t always know what to do about it.

The people of Makin were most concerned about mental health (57.8%), housing affordability (56.9%), alcohol/drug misuse (43.1%) and family violence (34.3%). They also nominated poverty and financial hardship (36.3%) as a key issue.

In Makin, there is a social housing shortfall of some 2700 homes and an estimated 400 people who are experiencing homelessness.

The Salvation Army provides assistance to someone in community every 17 seconds. Here in SA, we provide more than 75 different programs and activities to support people to connect and thrive.
