Salvation Army looks to new headquarters

Project due to start shortly

A major renovation project on Lord Street, Douglas is due to start shortly.

The Salvation Army's Citadel, which has stood since 1932, will be demolished and rebuilt in a modern style over two years.

It's estimated to cost up to £3 million, which will mainly come from within the charity's reserves.
