Watford

We've just concluded our Christmas Appeal 2020. Thanks to the generosity of our friends across Watford, we've been able to support more children and families than ever before. Stay tuned - we'll be announcing our final totals shortly.

Social distancing, home working, lockdown - coronavirus is forcing us to re-evaluate what’s really important and how we achieve it. We believe that every challenge is an opportunity.

The Salvation Army established the first ‘home leagues’ in the 1900s to support all women from all backgrounds - recognising that everyone needs a positive home life. We now feel called to reimagine the home league for absolutely everyone. Whatever our gender, age, background, ability or location - we all need a place to call home. Let’s create community.

Join The Home League online now. Welcome home!

3 million children in the UK are at risk of going hungry during the school holidays. Follow The Good Grub Club for budget-friendly food ideas 😋

We believe in prayer and we would like to pray for you. Please send us your prayer requests via email, twitter or instagram.
