Harwich

We have been amazed by the generosity of the people of Harwich in past years to the Christmas Present Appeal. This year more than ever we need your help to make sure no child or young person goes without a present this Christmas.

We appreciate times are difficult for many but if you can give even a little to this appeal it would make a huge difference. Let’s work together to spread as much joy as we can this Christmas.

At Christmas, more than any other time, The Salvation Army works tirelessly for people in need. Homeless and hungry people, families facing hardship, victims of domestic abuse and human trafficking, people who are ill or grieving, people who are desperately lonely - we reach out to all of them with unconditional friendship and practical, professional help.

Your ongoing financial support is crucial in our fight against fuel and food poverty in Harwich, Dovercourt and the surrounding areas.

If you would like to donate new toys these can be taken to Morrisons, Deli 141, Harwich Museum or Harwich Salvation Army.

We are very grateful for all donations. Your generosity will be a big help in giving those in need a happier and more peaceful Christmas.

Please visit the Harwich JustGiving page and donate what you can. Help us support as many people as possible.

As we move forward, pray and reflect about the future opportunities we have a programme of activities, these are listed below. For more information please call us on 01255 502502 and leave a message and someone will call you back.

Please note: Our Charity Shop is closed and we cannot accept charity shop donations, please place your clothing donations in one of the many Salvation Army clothing banks in our community, as we benefit from the money that these generate. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
