The members of Cradley Heath Salvation Army Band and Songsters would like to take this opportunity to thank the kind people of the Barrs Road, Cradley Heath area and The Squirrels, Halesowen for their generous support of The Salvation Army’s 2009 Annual Appeal.
We are delighted to report we collected almost £1,000 from these two areas this week towards the appeal. Thank you!
We never know where the next cry for help will come from, or what the problem will be. But with the generous help of our supporters, The Salvation Army knows it can help turn people’s lives around.
Our love is freely given, but our services cost time, expertise and money. That is why The Salvation Army Annual Appeal, and your contribution to it, are so important to us. That is why we will continue to need the strength you can give us through your understanding, friendship and generosity.
If you wish to give to our appeal, you can do so online here.
