Red Shield Services to the military
For many years The Salvation Army has offered a variety of services to the military. Over the last few years our services have been increasingly called upon to provide non-alcoholic leisure facilities in military training establishments where there are younger military personnel who are not permitted to drink. We also operate and manage children's groups and activities such as crèches, mother and toddler groups, after school clubs in response to local need.
During times of war and conflict the Red Shield services support the families left behind at the base practically and spiritually.
