The groups that run Saltash

Scouts and guides, park wardens and bandsmen, a foodbank and a twinning association — most of what happens in this town happens because somebody volunteers to make it.

Young people

  • The Core Youth and Community Centre

    A youth and community centre in the old K3 building behind the Cornwall College campus, giving young people somewhere to meet, play sport, make things and reach youth services — and local groups a hall to book.

Getting in touch

Groups are listed with their venue and their own website where they have one. We deliberately don't republish the volunteers' personal email addresses and mobile numbers — those belong to them, not to us. The town council keeps the full contact list, and keeps it current: community groups on saltash.gov.uk ↗.

Green spaces and environment

  • Friends of Churchtown Farm Community Nature Reserve

    Wardens of the 61-hectare reserve above the Tamar, running the guided walks and beach cleans that fill much of the town's diary.

Snooker, live music, bingo and quiz nights, and a main hall the town's groups hire, the U3A among them.
