Who we are

We are not for profit and non political
We are a network of local people and organisations

Our goal is to create a supportive community for everyone

Who we are

 Safer and Supportive Salisbury is a charity, leading a network of local people and organisations working together towards creating a safe, supportive and inclusive community for everyone who lives or works in the city and for all visitors to Salisbury and surrounding areas.

Our objects are:

 1. To promote the relief in need of the residents of Salisbury and its environs who are in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other social or economic disadvantage; and
2. To carry out any other purposes which are charitable in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. 

 Safer and Supportive Salisbury (SaSS) is a totally independent, non-political, not for profit charity. The  members of our network all represent local community groups or charities or are active in the Salisbury area as individual volunteers.

What we do

Safer and Supportive Salisbury raises funds and generates income to help further its aims and actions. The organisation shares, networks, signposts and communicates good practice and research. It promotes events and activities in its own right as well as those sponsored, supported or organised by member community groups and organisations.

The Safer and Supportive Salisbury Group grew out of the original work on Safe Places in Salisbury. It has evolved into a network that has helped to carry forward the Council’s Health and Wellbeing Agenda with minimal resources.

A copy of our constitution can be found here.

The group holds a well-attended open meeting 4-6 times a year at which members exchange information on their current activities and a great deal of informal networking takes place before and after the formal meeting. 

The last SaSS AGM was held on 11 December 2023 when we were able to confirm our registration as a charity with the Charity Commissioners of England and Wales. 

Our policies can be found here: Behaviours and Values, Data Protection and Privacy, Diversity and Equal Opportunities, Health and Safety and Safeguarding.
