We said yes to helping re-integrate incarcerated prisoners back into the Shoalhaven community

People become incarcerated due to criminal offenses, including theft, drug-related crimes, assault, or other legal violations. Incarceration can result from systemic issues like poverty, lack of education, mental health challenges, or social disadvantage, which contribute to higher rates of criminal behaviour and limited access to support.

The Salt Foundation assists people reintegrating after incarceration by providing housing, job training, and mentorship. Through individualised support, counselling, and partnerships with local services, Salt helps individuals build stability, regain independence, and reduce the risk of reoffending, fostering successful re-entry into the community.

The main demographic of people reintegrating from incarceration includes men aged 25-44, often from low-income backgrounds. Indigenous communities, individuals with limited education, and those with histories of substance abuse or mental health issues also face higher rates of incarceration and require targeted support during reintegration.

You can assist someone reintegrating from incarceration by offering support, understanding, and guidance. Help them find housing, employment, or connect them with community resources. Encourage them in their goals, and avoid judgment, fostering a supportive environment that empowers them to rebuild their life successfully.

The "I Said Yes" campaign began as a response to the growing needs within our community, where Salt has been making a difference since 2011. Recognising that small, consistent contributions can create lasting change, we launched this campaign to inspire individuals to say "yes" to helping others.

By encouraging donations of just $10 per week, the campaign empowers donors to play a vital role in supporting those facing homelessness, disadvantage, addiction, and more, making a collective impact on countless lives.

Salt was founded in 2011 in Bomaderry, NSW, in response to the increasing social challenges within the local community. Initially focused on addressing the immediate needs of those facing disadvantage, Salt quickly expanded its programs to include support for individuals experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, addiction, and other crises.

Over the years, Salt has grown into a cornerstone of the community, providing essential services, fostering connections, and empowering individuals and families to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
