Celebrate Christmas with the Salvos!
Come along to a Salvos carol event, church service or meal this Christmas.
The Salvos are known for celebrating Christmas with carols and festive events. We celebrate because Jesus was born, and he is a gift of light, love and hope for the whole world.
We want you to have a Christmas that is filled with connection and joy. Come along to one of our events, whether you’re looking for community, people to share a meal with, or just some extra Christmas joy.
