Saltmine Team

Inspired by the life and teachings of Jesus, we describe ourselves as Faith Motivated Arts because our faith inspires us to care for and value every human being.

Our Story

Born out of a passion to empower young people and tell stories through the arts, our journey began over four decades ago. From youth work to holiday camps (anyone remember Splash Down?) to the Saltmine band era, Dave Pope founded our charity back in the 80’s and led Saltmine for over 20 years! Now, we’ve grown into a dynamic team of theatre makers that tour nationally, bringing our unique productions to schools, churches, and organisations across the UK to provoke thought, open doors, and make change.

Our values of innovation, servant-heartedness, transformation, inclusiveness, and distinctiveness guide us as we bring biblical stories and contemporary issues to life on stage.
