Temporary home from a week on Monday
The Salvation Army is moving to a temporary home.
After 85 years based in Lord Street in Douglas, it’s to relocate to alternative premises a week on Monday (November 13).
It’s hoped the former Fairfield School building on Tynwald Street will host its weekly activities and services from November the 19th while a replacement Citadel is constructed on the site of the current one.
The relocation date for the Salvation Army Ark community nursery has yet to be confirmed.
David Gawne, chairman of the Council of Voluntary Organisations in the Island, says the Salvation Army plays a pivotal role in supporting vulnerable people in the Island:
