The Salvation Army’s 61st Red Shield Appeal

The Salvation Army’s Annual Red Shield Appeal runs through April, May and June each year. The National Door knock will occur on May 24 and 25

The Salvation Army in the New England North West is calling on the community to sign up for this year’s
Red Shield Appeal, raising local funds to support people who are struggling most in our region.
Across Australia, the Salvos are aiming to raise $38 million for Australia’s largest and longest-running
door-knock appeal, the 61st annual Red Shield Appeal.

Please reach out to your local Salvos to find out more about volunteering opportunities by visiting

Across Australia last year, through The Salvation Army’s network of over 400 centres and 2,000 services
in areas such as homelessness, family and domestic violence, youth, drug and alcohol rehabilitation,
financial hardship and much more, the Salvos provided:

– Assistance to one person every 17 seconds
– More than 1.76 million sessions of care to over 250,000 people in need
– Over 1.1 million bed nights to those who needed accommodation
– More than 1.5 million meals to those who accessed our homelessness services.
