Additionally also support the following initiatives each year

SERV  –  Service by Emergency Rider Volunteers, or SERV, is a Blood Bikes charity whose volunteers provide a motorcycle courier service, free of charge to the National Health Service.

We are very keen to take part in local projects with schools and youth groups as well as with arts foundations. An important part of our work involves allocating funds to improve the lives of local people

Salisbury Rotary & Business in the Community Group

The Salisbury Rotary & Business in the Community Group is a group of like-minded business people who are committed to supporting our community. Some of us meet for a working breakfast at the White Hart Hotel once a month but others are unable to do this and so meet up at a project group once a month to work on a particular fundraising or community event.

If you and your business would like to get involved, click here, we’re always looking for more people to help make a difference within the local community!
