Pam Rhodes marks 150 years of the Salvation Army in Wales by discovering the remarkable story of how it started its work there, and she looks back at stories that highlight how the 'Army' is still serving communities across the UK today.

Pam travels to Merthyr Tydfil and the oldest Salvation Army church still in use in Wales, where she learns how two young girls were sent to this tough industrial town in 1848 to preach the gospel and succeeded in bringing many people to faith.

Aled Jones visits Liverpool and the Salvation Army’s community space ‘Strawberry Field’ to see how the place that inspired a classic Beatles song is now encouraging young people to find employment.

And we explore the Salvation Army’s love of music and singing as the Rev Kate Bottley joins a tambourine and timbrel session, and we hear from their world-famous ‘International Staff Songsters’.

With glorious music, songs and hymns inspired and sung by the Salvation Army.
