About 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.

Salcare Escape is a branch of Salcare that provides support and advice to those that have or are experiencing Domestic Abuse. This is through a mixture of specialised one to one support and carefully created groups 

Our Values

We Value People

• We show respect & kindness towards everyone we work with.

We Work Alongside People

• We work alongside our service users and their families to get the best outcomes. Everyone is treated as an individual with their own needs, with their own circumstances, and we support them to have agency over their lives.

We’re Accessible

• We are a local, friendly team, with lived experience of the work we do, so we’re understanding whilst being able to be completely professional in our practice.

We’re Accountable 

• We give and receive feedback truthfully because we’re accountable to people we work with, as well as to each other and our funders.

We’re Fair & value Equality

• Everyone comes from different walks of life; we treat people how we want to be treated, with equal respect for all.

We’re collaborative, not competitive  

• We work with other systems, for example, in health, education & policing, to support the person & family holistically. We partner with external agencies to add value, make our resources go further and avoid duplication.
