Throughout this season of isolation, at Saltmine we are hoping to inspire, encourage and educate. Due to the current social climate we are unable to tour and most of our work has been cancelled till late summer.

However, we are keen to do what we can digitally through our isolation resources. We are using the Government’s furlough scheme with some staff and our remaining team are working hard to bring faith motivated arts into your home.

Please keep up with us on social media @saltminetrust to hear of the new resources we are launching on a weekly basis on this page and through YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

We are creating all of this content free of charge but would appreciate any donations towards our work at this time.

Isolation Poetry

"We are told that in these uncertain times we are making history."

But making history isn't easy. How do we tread in the tension, embrace the unknown, wrestle for positive change?

We trust in the stability of belonging to another, everlasting kingdom - and we set ourselves to making that kingdom a reality for everybody.

Another Kingdom
Written by Anna Turner for
Saltmine Trust

"The uncertainty of this 'unprecedented' season has bred a lot of fear. We feel as if we are navigating ourselves blindly through the unknown.

But we are not the first. The writer of Ecclesiastes reminds us that it is just that - a season. And whatever this season holds, it isn't forever, and we are not alone. We live in a chaotic world. But nothing is unprecedented to God."

There is a Time
