Here's How You Can Help The Red Shield Appeal This Weekend

• Over 100,000 people assisted with hospitality, in-kind and personal assistance in disaster affected situations by Salvation Army Emergency Services
• Support to over 14,000 people by Financial Counsellors (Moneycare)
• Over 27,000 significant contacts made by Chaplains
