The Salvation Army is your local church and community centre. We focus on looking after the homeless and vulnerable in society.

We in the Wokingham corps, have a very specific focus on those who need help with housing, benefits and general support in their everyday lives. We also have a regular worshipping congregation on a Sunday, who assist with some of our weekday activities.

We are looking for a volunteer to help with the weekly lunch club. This is held in our hall Thursdays.12-15pm-1.45pm. The need is for someone to assist in setting up the table, helping to serve, and to clear up afterwards.
