COVID-19 Impacts

27 March 2020

As you will be aware, quite extreme measures have been put in place to minimise the spread of the virus. These measures including ceasing worship as a congregation and other group activities. However, many of the other services by the Salvation Army are continuing but the method of delivery of some services has changed.

The Salvation Army has a business continuity plan in place to reduce the impact of this pandemic on our charitable services. It is vital that our work with the most vulnerable in the community is not negatively impacted and we are aware that people already experiencing hardship may be significantly affected by the immediate threat as well as the longer-term repercussions of this emergency. 

The Salvation Army will continue to care for the most vulnerable in our community and meet human needs. While the means of delivering our services might be changing, our mission hasn’t.
