The Salvation Army returns to Elgin with two newly-appointed community chaplains

CHARITY The Salvation Army has returned to Elgin with the appointment of two newly-appointed community chaplains.

Majors Nick and Lisa Hanover have been appointed as community chaplains in Elgin and will be out and about in the community in future.

As a Christian church and a registered charity, The Salvation Army seeks to "share the good news of Jesus through serving others, caring for creation and seeking justice and reconciliation".

Until recently, Nick worked as a military chaplain at RAF Lossiemouth.

"We are keen to explore how we can offer a similar service to the wider community locally," he said.

"Our expectation is that we are out and about within the community, visiting and being present wherever that is helpful, needed or wanted.

"We are keen to support, promote and encourage in whatever way we can."

Having lived in Elgin for the last six years, Lisa and Nick are eager to work alongside and with others to make a positive difference locally.

Committed to working in partnership, they would be glad to hear from any local businesses, charities, schools or community groups that feel they would benefit from well-being support.
