The Salvation Army
The Salvation Army is a Christian movement dedicated to meeting human needs, and doing so without discrimination.
Each of the charities shown here, has a genuine connection to Somerset College.
Our support of these social entrepreneurs has been birthed out of the relationships that many of our staff, students and families have with these organisations. During the Celebration of Entrepreneurship, the wonderful work of the social entrepreneurs supported by Somerset College will be championed by our Year 10 students who will lead fundraising initiatives to support these organisations.
