B&Q Salisbury

River Bourne Community Farm was established in 2010 as a working farm for the whole community to enjoy. It is FREE to visit and has many animals to see and a cosy cafe and farm shop. Education and volunteering are the main focuses of the farm. Small groups of Primary and Secondary pupils come to the farm to learn about animal care and working on a farm. Many of them have additional needs such as autism and working outdoors is very beneficial to them. We generally have around 80 to 100 volunteers to help us on the farm doing everything from egg collecting, animal feeding, general maintenance, working the shop, helping at events and anything else we need! We couldnt do it without them! The farm holds events throughout the year for the community to enjoy, including our popular music event Live@TheFarm. See our website for more information about events.

For over 30 years, Alabaré has been providing support & accommodation for the homeless. Our provision is for homeless adults, ex-armed forces veterans, adults with learning disabilities & young people, including those leaving the care of the local authority, estranged from their families & homeless, vulnerably housed, adolescent parents & their children & unaccompanied asylum seeker children (UASCs). All of our clients will be experiencing some or all of the following - poverty, poor health, mental ill health, homelessness, alcohol & drug misuse, addiction issues such as gambling, debt, domestic abuse, unemployment, violence & involvement in crime. They are likely to have lost touch with their families & friends, become isolated & have no support structures. Their lives are complex & they are a risk of neglect to themselves & others. Our accommodation & structured support pathway is designed to foster the opportunity to regain independence & develop sustainable resilience necessary for good citizenship. Staff work with homeless clients to enable them to stabilise their situation & mentor them to achieve their agreed personal goals, increase & restore self-confidence, learn new skills, address addictions, debts, physical or mental health needs, & achieve employment or meaningful occupation.

We are a charity proving accommodation and support for women and children fleeing domestic abuse. We are grateful for donations of food, clothing, household goods, DIY products and home furnishings to support our residents during their stay and when they start afresh when they resettle.
