The Times has chosen to support The Salvation Army for this year’s Christmas appeal. As part of the coverage of the support, the Times have asked Captain Gordon Cotterill to blog about the Christmas activities in his ministry. Gordon’s blog, URBANarmy, has been a regular read from the day I discovered it. I’m looking forward to his posts over Christmas.
The Salvation Army is a Christian church and charity and the largest provider of social welfare after the UK Government. More than a quarter of a million people access its services each week which include support for homeless people, the elderly, families in need and people with addictions.
