Welcome to The Salvation Army, West Scotland Division

Please find below a message from our
Divisional Leader, Major Vic Kennedy.

Everyone leaves a footprint in this world.  The world media carried the story of Neda Soltan's killing.  Neda was a student who was appalled at the injustice she saw.  She took to the streets in Tehran to protest.  This is what she said, 'Even if a bullet goes through my head it is not important.  What we are fighting for is more important.  When it comes to taking our stolen rights back we should not hesitate.  Everyone is responsible.  Each person leaves a footprint in this world'.  Neda had no idea how big the footprints she would leave.  She was shot by a government militiaman.  Six months after her death it is clear that her death has had an amazing impact.  She inspired a whole new generation to rise up to fight for justice.  The Times newspaper has voted her the person of the year.

Everyone leaves a footprint in the world.  The Salvation Army are leaving massive footprints in over 60 locations here in West Scotland.  Some of these are visible and others not so.  As the Divisional Commander I believe we are making a significant difference in so many of the communities in which we work by our practical, down to earth, sleeves rolled up Christianity.  Last year an approach was made by us by the Inter Faith group working in Glasgow to see if we would allow them to get their sleeves rolled up in serving the poor, marginalised and disadvantaged in Glasgow.  On Christmas Day they turned up to our Laurieston Day Centre to serve Christmas meals to over 100 needy people.  We had Jewish Rabbi's, Imam's from the Muslim faith and others partnering with The Salvation Army.  They left a very impressive footprint in that centre on Christmas Day.  On the 4th February we officially open the Eva Burrows 1st Stop Project catering for 32 homeless people.  Another impressive footprint we wil be leaving as a Salvation Army.  The challenge for us all is to make lots of those important and strategic, meaningful and relevant footprints in seeking to fight for social justice for the poor and disadvantaged, the marginalised and deprived.
