THE Salvation Army has officially opened its new UK and Ireland Territory headquarters in south London.
The building was specially constructed after the Church and charity sold its previous headquarters in Elephant and Castle, in central London, in 2020.
The Elephant and Castle building was sold to developer Rockwell after The Salvation Army reached the conclusion that much-needed repairs would be too expensive.
The Salvation Army said its new headquarters in Denmark Hill has been designed using the latest environmental and energy efficiency standards, meaning it will have significantly reduced running costs.
Territorial Commander for the UK and Ireland, Commissioner Anthony Cotterill, said, “Ensuring local mission can flourish was at the heart of every decision we made about this new building.
“The main purpose of the teams that work at our headquarters is to support our worship and mission in communities across the UK.
