“Sorry, no Trick or Treat”

Each Halloween since 1994, the Saltbox has vigorously campaigned to protect the elderly & vulnerable, to protect unsupervised children, & to reduce "Trick or Treat" associated vandalism.

This community campaign has attracted wide-ranging support from amongst others, Staffordshire Police, local schools, the elderly, various support groups and the Christian Church. We hope that you may be inspired to begin a similar campaign in your neighbourhood.
