New Addington

The Salvation Army works with some of the most vulnerable people in society. As we face the worst public health crisis in our lifetime, people on the margins need us now more than ever.

From running food banks and checking up on people who live alone, to offering counselling and supporting NHS isolation units, Salvation Army churches all over the country are responding to the crisis in dozens of different ways.

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

During the Covid-19 crisis we are not gathering for worship and all of our programmes are held via Zoom. If you're a local person interested in joining with us for worship, please email new.addington@salvationarmy.org.uk for more details as to how you can share with us over Zoom.

Currently, all our activities (with the exception of The Vine Food Bank) are held via Zoom.

We are part of the New Addington Community Partnership, alongside New Addington Residents' Association, Good Food Matters, The Family Centre and New Addington Baptist Church. We also work closely with New Addington Pathfinders, local schools and several other local churches. Together, we seek to benefit the communities of New Addington and Fieldway however we can.

NOTE - THE VINE WILL NOT BE OPEN TO RECEIVE DONATIONS ON TUESDAY 9th FEBRUARY DUE TO THE INCLEMENT WEATHER. WE AIM TO BE OPEN FOR FOOD DISTRIBUTION ON WEDNESDAY 10th.

The Salvation Army runs 'The Vine' foodbank in New Addington. This is located down the lane between 11 & 13 Salcot Crescent, New Addington.

The Vine is open for donations on Tuesday evenings from 7-8pm and Saturday mornings from 9-10am and for food referrals on Wednesday and Saturday mornings from 10am-12pm. We operate a voucher system for food parcels. Vouchers are issued by a variety of agencies, including local churches and schools, a number of local authority departments and the Citizens' Advice Bureau. Please email new.addington@salvationarmy.org.uk for more information.

Food Parcels are only given to those who have been assessed by one of our voucher partners and issued with a voucher. During the Covid-19 crisis we're unable to welcome clients into the Food Bank and parcels are issued at the door. Please come prepared for inclement weather in case there is a short wait to be seen.

Prayer is a key part of our life as a church. If you have a prayer request, please email us at new.addington@salvationarmy.org.uk and we will be happy to support you in this way.
