Inside Salisbury: Record-breaking results and Inside Salisbury News
Inside Salisbury continues to progress...
Dear all,
We have some news.
We are excited to announce that we are in the process of setting up a monthly magazine all about Salisbury and the people. The publication will be available at the end of each month.
We have received such lovely feedback about our articles which bring a generous slice of news and interviews as well as digging deep into the history of Salisbury.
A big thank you to all those who believed in this independent project and have subscribed.
Now it is back to the grindstone so we make our deadline but in the meantime, take a look at the article below which is about the record-breaking sum of money raised for a Salisbury charity.

Record-breaking sum raised for Salisbury Charity
A SALISBURY charity exceeded a former fund-raising project in just three days this year.
Thousands of pounds were raised for Salisbury Hospice Charity in the Christmas Tree Collection & Recycling Scheme. More than £33,000 was raised which was only made possible by 27 vehicles collecting more than 1500 Christmas trees across a 15-mile radius.
Funds raised will enable Salisbury Hospice charity to provide compassionate care and support for those patients facing life-limiting illnesses. The aim is to help people live as well as possible and die with dignity in a place of their choosing.
Care is given to more than 1,000 individuals annually with specialised services provided free of charge and is delivered where patients and family members need it either within the hospice, the community or in patients’ own homes.

Salisbury Hospice Charity will donate 10% of the proceeds to Salisbury & South Wilts Scouts and to Serve On.
Christmas tree wood chippings are used as bedding, mulch and footpath reinforcements for farms and playgrounds. This recycling effort is only made possible by the generous support of local tree services.
Salisbury Hospice charity would like to offer special thanks to Just Helping, Linden Van Hire, and Weavers Wilton as well as the following businesses and volunteers.
Pizza Hut Fisherton Street, ServeOn, South Wilts Scouts, Tesco Extra Salisbury, Rose Farm Hurdcott, Newbourne Composting, Stump Grinders Tree Specialist, Mark Walsh Tree Services, Ockenden Tree Services, Barefoot Barns, Nationwide Building Society, Breeze Environmental, Neil and Nick Smith Builder, Doccombe Global Logistics, Guyatts of Salisbury, Wessex Timber Windows, Clearite, Donald and Sarah Capewell, Boatwrights, Neil Smith Illustration and all community volunteers.
