Part 155. The Salvation Army at work.

There is much to commend TSA in the United Kingdom for its work in the community and in particular the support it gives to the disadvantaged, the marginalised and those living in poverty. It is engaged in many of its settings (locations) supporting individuals in need. The work is not only taking place in its buildings but out in the community.  Nor is the Army insular, increasingly there are examples of collaborative and partnership working.  However the Army is not good at publicising its work, particularly at local level. It could and should be doing a lot more to raise its profile.

TSA does campaign on policy issues and comes forward with proposals for change as well as opposing current policies.  Its campaigning and policy proposals are at national level. There is little engagement at local authority level with a few notable exceptions. TSA should mobilise its soldiers, adherents and supporters. It must do more to develop the Social Justice Champion role it has established.
