The Salvation Army Street Hospital in Oslo is part of the Salvation Army, an organization with roots dating back to 1865 in London. The center aims to provide care for the whole person, and works with a wide range of services aimed at children and young people, substance abuse care, the elderly and people in vulnerable situations. Through their work, they focus on helping individuals out of poverty and offer support to families with children in need.
The organization is also engaged in aid and relief work, as well as prison work and education. The Salvation Army has a Christian foundation and values, which characterize their approach to those who receive help. In addition to direct support and care, Fretex is part of their sustainable work, which helps to promote reuse and reduce waste.
