Welcome to Salcare
Salcare is a charity – a ‘one-stop shop’ providing support for the people of Amber Valley and Erewash. We have been around since 1977 and we feel like part of the Heanor community and we know that is how people feel about us.
We help anyone in need, whether they have been referred to us by organisations such as social services, the police, domestic abuse services or job centres. It doesn’t matter if you are outside the Amber Valley/Erewash boundaries – if you need help we will help you!
The benefit of having all the information as well as aid and assistance in one place is to be able to make sure that people who require support of any kind can be helped to make safer choices for themselves and their families.

🌟 Trustees’ Week Spotlight: Simon Reed – Chair of the Board 🌟
We’re closing Trustees’ Week by celebrating our Chair, Simon Reed, whose leadership, warmth and belief in SALCARE continue to guide and inspire us. 💚
We asked Simon three questions about his trustee journey… 👇
💬 Why did you become a trustee at Salcare?
“I came across Salcare by complete accident to be honest. My wife had attended a presentation by their then Director, and she picked up that they were looking for a Treasurer and thought it might be something I could do! I had never heard of Salcare up to then, but doing some research I was blown away by the services they provide to those who need them so much in our area. I was really motivated by the positive difference Salcare makes to peoples lives and wanted to play a part in that work.”
💬 A highlight or proud moment?
“There are so many things with Salcare to be proud of. Every time I walk into Salcare I see our great staff and volunteers doing their very best for our customers and service users. There are many things that have inspired me from the fantastic support from sponsors and guests at our charity gala last year, (and hopefully this!) to some of our staff and volunteers taking part in some recent podcasts promoting volunteering in the Amber Valley and brilliantly talking about our work.”
💬 What have you learned from being part of the Board?
“Being a charity trustee is a very rewarding role, and I would encourage anyone to have a look at being one. You learn that what we can achieve as an organisation with our diverse backgrounds, approaches and skills is very much more than the sum of our parts. I’ve learned a lot more about the pressures and vulnerabilities that charities like Salcare face but also that there are great people out there willing to take the challenge on. We’ve recently built a fantastic Board and are always on the look out for new people to help us. ”
Simon – thank you for your outstanding leadership and for guiding Salcare with compassion, positivity and purpose. 💜
