Welcome to
Silver Salisbury
Who we are
We’re a small, registered charity based in South Wiltshire. We aim to reduce loneliness and isolation by supporting older people to be active in their local community. We have 5 volunteer founding trustees who all live locally. Our Chair, Irene Kohler is Salisbury’s Older People’s Champion.
What we do
We promote local groups and activities where older people will get a warm welcome in Salisbury, Amesbury, Downton and Wilton and the surrounding areas. Research shows that overcoming isolation improves health and wellbeing, leaving older people feeling better and reducing the demand for health and social care services.
Silver Salisbury is a registered charity in England and Wales (no 1198019)

2025 Autumn Festival Programme
The Autumn Festival has finished now but you might like to look at it and see what we presented. There were 37 events in 19 days and most of them were fully booked. An interesting collection. The next Festival will be in Spring 2026 and will be advertised well in advance.
Coffee and Chat Groups
After the success of the monthly coffee and chat groups held at Salisbury Library they have now been extended, both at the library as a spin-off Vinyl cafe, as a separate group in Wilton and as a Ukrainian language group.
