Showcases

 Safer and Supportive Salisbury have been running Showcase events since 2014, bringing together organisations serving the community, to highlight the local services that support everyone’s health and wellbeing.

It gives an opportunity for the many excellent groups and organisations that support people in Salisbury and the surrounding area to tell the community about themselves and meet other like-minded organisations to network.

‘Absolutely fantastic! Great networking, realising exactly the groups and kind of help that we have. So many people came in and talked with the different organisations.’ A quote from one attending organisation

These showcases have been targeted to reflect topics of immediate concern, such as Thriving on a Shoestring, that focussed on the cost of living, Dementia Support that connected support organisations and people living with dementia and their carers and Breathing Spaces that provided opportunities for improved wellbeing through nature and the outdoors.

Last year we ran the very successful Men Matters event that focused on men’s mental health and due by request we will be running this event again this year on October 10 from City Hall. 

Men Matters was opened by The Mayor of Salisbury Cllr John Wells who told attendees of a rule crafted by youngsters at the primary school he previously led.

‘Look out for each other’ he felt summed up the informative, friendly event. He went on to say: ‘I am really pleased to see so many people here and can see that it is already a success.’

 These events are made possible with funding from the Salisbury Area Board and enormous goodwill and volunteering hours from the local community.
