Supporting our Community
At SaltSep, we’re committed to making a positive difference beyond the work we do in water treatment. Supporting our local and wider communities is an important part of who we are and we are proud to be working with our Charity of the Year, Jolly Josh.
Based in Rochdale, Jolly Josh provides a safe, inclusive space for children and young adults aged 0-19 living with complex medical needs and physical disabilities. Through accessible play, social acitivites and hydrotheraphy-based experiences, the charity helps children and their families create connections, build confidence and enjoy meaningful experiences together.
To support Jolly Josh, we took on the challenge of climbing Mount Snowdon on 6th September 2026, raising funds to help the charity continue providing vital support for children and families.
