The Salvation Army yesterday launched its annual Christmas Appeal, which facilitates funding of the organisation’s programmes and activities throughout the year, including its drug rehabilitation programme.
The launching ceremony, held at the Georgetown Club, yesterday, marked the beginning of one of the traditions of the local Christmas season—‘kettling.’
Salvation Army volunteers can usually be found along pavements and at store entrances, sounding a bell, while appealing for donations from passers-by, which are accepted in an iconic red kettle.
