i have just been through a period of time where an organisation clamed they could find people
they lie they dont help fathers to find and to be able to see there children from broken relationships
so went in and started to verafy who works for the salvation army
the amount of police and police investigators located behind doors that should not just fall open is completely idiotic
why are we the general public donating money , clothes , household items to the supposed religious sector
lies and more lies
just wanted people to know what we found hiding instore
police with no real duties for a reason they are investigators
its a cruel world with more lies than they can dictate to us all

I have recently just left working for The Salvation Army and think I can add a little bit of information.

TSA has two arms. The first is the Social Work side of things. As this is largely financed by the government social work professionals are hired for just about everything. There is nothing to say that they must be Christian or anything like that. Simply that they have the skills to do their job. There are also a wide range of volunteers who help out in soup kitchen types of areas.

The other arm is the church side of the organisation. in the past TSA church members did the social work, but as the social work sector has grown, and become more professional less and less members work. They then, work in the a voluntary capacity in their churches. You would normally see these volunteers doing youth groups, some emergency relief, and collecting for the red shield appeal.

TSA also has very strict guidelines that comply and at times go beyond the legal requirements for working with children with every person who comes into contact with kids having to do a working with children's check and a police check.

Hope that helps.
