A WOMAN SITTING ON A BUCKET I am a Salvation Army officer.

Like a minister or priest, I lead the church services on a Sunday. I also care for people in my community.

Every year The Salvation Army holds an appeal. Money is collected for people in need.

We sometimes use buckets like the one I am sitting on.

…a fireman?

A FIREMAN I was helped by The Salvation Army when I was involved in a major fire.

At times of emergency, they give out food and drink for victims, the fire fighters, the police and the ambulance service. They are also there to comfort people and to listen if people need to talk about how they feel.

…a man sleeping on the street?

Thanks to The Salvation Army, I am now living in my own flat and making new friends.

A CHILD LEANING ON THE BIBLE Me and my friends are members of The Salvation Army’s junior church.

I am in the children’s choir and I go to the kids’ club which is held at the same time as Sunday morning worship. We find out more about the Bible and how to be like Jesus.

AN ELDERLY WOMAN HANGING FROM A ZIMMER FRAME During the week I come and have lunch at The Salvation Army.

It’s nice to know that people care about me.

…a woman pushing a mouse?

The money helps with The Salvation Army’s work.
