Who We Are

I Said Yes is a campaign run by Salt Carea local, registered, not-for-profit charity. Born in Bomaderry, NSW, Salt sprang to life in 2011, answering the call to tackle the growing social challenges within our community. Today, Salt stands as a beacon of hope, fostering inclusion, connection, and unwavering support through a variety of impactful programs.

At Salt, we believe that everyone deserves to belong. We stand shoulder to shoulder with those whose dignity has been denied, working hand-in-hand with the very community we serve.

Our Vision

At Salt, we envision a future where every person in our community feels valued, supported, and empowered to lead a life of dignity and purpose. Born out of a deep commitment to addressing social disadvantage, Salt stands as a catalyst for change, fostering a culture of inclusion, connection, and compassion. We aspire to create a community where no one is left behind, where immediate needs are met with urgency, and where long-term solutions pave the way for lasting transformation.

Our Values

Empathy

We deeply understand and share the feelings of others, fostering genuine connections that guide our mission to serve and uplift.

Compassion

With heartfelt compassion, we respond to the needs of our community, providing care and support with kindness and understanding.

Selflessness

We prioritise the well-being of others, dedicating ourselves to service without expectation, knowing that collective care strengthens our community.

Our Mission

Our mission is twofold. In the short term, we’re here to meet the urgent needs of families and individuals in crisis—offering food, clothing, and essential material aid.

But our vision stretches further. We’re committed to nurturing a community where every person thrives, because we all do better when we look out for one another.
