FARM TRANSFORMS LIVES
The September issue of Good News outreach newspaper tells the remarkable story of Hadleigh Farm, set up by the Salvation Army, that by 1912 had helped over 4,000 unemployed men find work.
This Essex farm continues today, mainly helping young people gain work experience and qualifications, driven by the Army's core mission to 'Love God, Love Others'. Our story ends by inviting readers to visit a local church's Harvest service.
