I cannot believe this organisation
I cannot believe this organisation ! Myself and family visited Braintree Essex recently we are white British , we were unable to visit the salvation army hall , we were told by on site security that we were not welcome to visit and donate ! As the salvation army had a social event on the day I was told we were not welcome only to discover later after asking in a charity shop the the event was to support illegal imagrants in the local community..... I will never donate another penny to the army again not because of supporting imagrants but because the fact I was turned away for wanting to donate

I would like to bring to your attention that when I left the charity shop
I left on good terms with all the staff as I went to help my Parents and I ask the Manager Jackie would I be able to return in the future and her reply was YES
Due to this I have now find out that Im not welcomed to return as a volunteer as we left on good terms, and you are holding me agent things what has happen and treating me as a criminal.
And now when I call you and want to speak to you I'm refused and don’t want my services.
If I remember I kept myself to my self when I was down as I was quiet in the store and hardly spoke
Also when I came to you when I was sexual assaulted and for help and this is how you treat me after every thing I have done.
This I can assure you I am not nothing of the sort. Also I am not a violent person,
As I have put myself out to help others in the shop and when needed
If I can remember I worked Hard in the store
I NEVER HURT THE STAFF IN ANY WAY OR FORM.
I worked downstairs best part of it and I hardly spoke to any one. until I was moved upstairs to help on the shop floor..
Now I know where I stand with the store and what you think of me.
A CRIMINAL
DONT DONATE AT THE NORTHAMPTON SALVATION ARMY AS IF IT NOT GOOD THEY WILL BIN IT.
and this is how the Salvation Army. superstore Northampton treat you and that you like dirt
don't volunteer at the shop as you will get treated like dirt

Hi Carolyn,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience in our Hadleigh shop did not meet the high standard of customer service we aim to provide.
We are grateful for every donation we receive, and we are particularly sorry to hear that you did not feel appreciated after generously donating a number of items. We understand how disappointing this must have felt.
Your comments have been noted and will be shared with the shop management team so that they can review the concerns you've raised and reinforce the importance of welcoming and thanking our supporters.
We genuinely value the support of everyone who chooses to donate to The Salvation Army, and we hope this experience will not discourage you from supporting charitable causes in the future.

The salvation army shop in bradford wibsey. I seen a elderly volunteer treat another customer quite harsh while on the till. She has no empathy and lacks customer service.
Shes been there along time and I find her unpleasant. Feel sorry for the paid staff to put up with such behaviour. I have never witnessed such behaviour for a charity volunteer. Its sad to witness. But a lovely shop to come to as the Asian lady is bonnie and great with customers.

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience at our Bradford Wibsey shop. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we take all concerns about customer experience very seriously. Our volunteers and staff play a vital role in our work, and we strive to ensure everyone is treated with kindness and respect.
We do appreciate you also highlighting the positive experience you’ve had with another member of the team, and we will be sure to pass on your kind comments.
Your feedback is important to us, and we will ensure it is shared with the Bradford shop team so it can be reviewed and addressed.
With thanks

I volunteer at The Salvation Army Lurgan, Northern Ireland Charity Shop where we are like a Family, a lot of reviews on here are sadly negative so I wanted to leave a positive review, I’ve been a customer at other Army charity shops both here and in Canada and always had a good experience from the volunteer Staff, we enjoy a chat and a laugh with our customers, volunteers and the kind people who donate items to the shop to help raise money for the less fortunate in our community that is what The Salvation Army was founded to do

Hi Siobhan,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a kind and thoughtful review. It’s wonderful to hear about your experience volunteering in Lurgan and the sense of community you’ve built there.
We’re so pleased that you’ve had positive experiences both as a volunteer and a customer, and that the welcoming, friendly atmosphere you describe is being felt by others too.
Your support, and the support of volunteers like you, plays such an important part in helping us serve people in communities across the UK and beyond.
Thank you again for everything you do.

I am really impressed with the Salvation Army charity shop Longton, Stoke-On-Trent
I am really impressed with the Salvation Army charity shop in Longton, Stoke-On-Trent. There is a fantastic range of goods, some are brand new clothes, and others pre-loved, all in great condition and very good value, affordable. Every time I go to this shop, all the staff are friendly, helpful and give great advice.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear how strongly you feel.
The Salvation Army has a long-standing mission to support vulnerable people in need within the UK, including families, children and those experiencing homelessness.
When we open the door to our churches every morning, we can never be sure who will be seeking our help and what they need, but we will help them if we can, providing practical support to those facing hardship in our communities.
Our work is focused on offering practical help such as food, shelter, and support services to people in need, and we remain committed to supporting local communities across the country.
Nationally, The Salvation Army provides beds for 3,000 people every night in 81 residential hostels, called Lifehouses, across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
We understand that people hold a range of views, and we respect your right to your opinion.
However, our priority continues to be caring for those most in need.
Kind regards,
The Salvation Army Supporter Care Team

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear how strongly you feel.
The Salvation Army has a long standing mission to support vulnerable people in need, regardless of their background or circumstances. When we open the door to our churches every morning, we can never be sure who will be seeking our help and what they need, but we will help them if we can, providing practical support to those facing hardship in our communities. Over the years, this help has included everyone from mothers and children fleeing the war in Ukraine, those encountering hard times here in the UK, to people who have been tricked into travelling to the UK and forced into modern slavery. So there will be some occasions when we help people who are not UK nationals.
We understand that people hold a range of views, and we respect your right to your opinion.
However, our priority remains caring for those most in need in our communities.

Visited Savation Army Shop in Winsford…
Visited Savation Army Shop in Winsford Industrial Park and was served by Dan.
Dan was beyond fantastic and was attentive, helpful and an absolute blessing to be served by him.
We bought a lot of fragrances and needed a wet wipe for a cut, it was no trouble at all for him to get wipes from his car.
Dan is an asset to the store and a great assistant to the manager there.
Thank you so much you were incredible.

Dear Teri,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the pricing in our Bishop Auckland shop.
Our charity shops aim to raise as much vital funding as possible to support our charitable work, and prices can sometimes reflect the quality, condition, or brand of donated items. That said, we do understand that value for money is important, and we’re sorry that this wasn’t your experience on this occasion.
Your comments have been shared with the shop management team so they can review pricing and ensure it remains fair and accessible for our customers. We genuinely appreciate you raising this with us and hope you might consider visiting us again in the future.
Kind regards,
Avoid a Scammer Charity
Our local salvation army in Shipley has introduced a parking fine system whereby if you walk out of the shop for 5 minutes and go over the road to support other businesses in the area , you get fined 100 quid. This, despite having just bought something in their shop.
The person who served me laughed at my misfortune. I'm furious. It goes against everything that the salvation army stands for. It's horrible to see them worshipping Mamon the god of money. I've spent £100s in this shop but will NEVER visit Salvation army again

Thank you for your feedback.
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience at our Shipley charity shop and the frustration caused by the parking charge. We understand how upsetting this must have been, especially when you were supporting local businesses and had purchased an item from the store.
The parking system at that site is managed by our trading arm, Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd (SATCoL), and your feedback is important to us. We want to assure you that we never want visitors to feel unwelcome or discouraged from supporting the shop or the wider community. Your comments about the interaction with a member of staff are also concerning, and we will ensure this is looked into.
Thank you for taking the time to raise this. We value every supporter, and we are committed to ensuring all our shops provide a positive and respectful experience.
If it is possible for you to email us the date and time of your visit, we will follow up directly and request that the Area Manager reviews the event in detail. You can contact us at: Fr@salvationarmy.org.uk, using "Subject Matter Trust Pilot Review" as your subject line.

Thank you for your feedback.
You may be referring to reports concerning a Christmas meal held at one of our premises and we would like to offer more context, which we hope will be helpful.
The Christmas meal you saw was organised and paid for by Care4Calais, and The Salvation Army only provided the room. Our intention was simply to offer a space so that people could experience welcome and community at Christmas.
This did not take resources away from our local work in Braintree. This year we provided presents for over 200 children, delivered 80 Christmas dinners, and welcomed 60 guests for Christmas Day.
Across the UK and Ireland, The Salvation Army provides around 3,000 beds every night in 81 Lifehouses, including specialist support for veterans. More than 68,000 Christmas gifts are also shared each year with people facing hardship.
If you would like to discuss anything further, our Supporter Services team would be happy to help via our main contact channels.
