The Salvation Army in Ulverstone has a wonderful team of volunteers at Salvo Connect, which supports people facing hardship and injustice. The support hub, located at 23 Victoria St, Ulverstone, features a shower and laundry for rough sleepers; food and financial assistance; No Interest Loan Scheme support; monthly Centrelink visits (face-to-face); computers for checking emails / printing resumes; warm winter clothing / tents / sleeping bags; and a place to sit and chat. All assistance is based on perceived need, with referrals to onsite caseworkers and deeper supports to work on the underlying issues causing disadvantage. On an average week, we would assist around 40 local people coming into the centre – some of whom have families to support, or need intensive supports. We would provide 10-20 showers for rough sleepers, and constant washing loads! Funding for the Hub comes from our local Thrift Shop (also run by a large volunteer team), the Red Shield Appeal, and local generous sponsors. Our volunteers make all this possible. The Salvo Connect team includes the amazing Tina, Stan, Carol and Karen, with LC as the coordinator and Robyn as caseworker. Through offering their time at the Support Hub, they are making a real difference in the local community – and we are so grateful for them!
