Each year the Salvation Army in the United Kingdom holds an Annual Appeal for its social service work. This usually takes place around the last two weeks of September and to make this appeal a success it is reliant on people kindly volunteering their time to help out.

Here at Histon, this has been one of the best years in people supporting the Appeal with practical help and we would like to say a big thank you to all who have taken part this year. As a church, we also want to thank volunteers from the Ladybird Play & Toddler Group, Mel Gulston of Cambridge Salvation Army & Louise Jacobs of Plumstead Salvation Army who have helped out in collecting this year.

There are still collecting figures to come in but the total received in the first week alone is already well on the way to surpassing last year’s total amount collected of £570!
