Artist Fred Fieber, known for the Milford Bridge Mural, will be leading a two-day project in collaboration with Community First’s Splash Wiltshire that will see young people spruce up the Exeter Street underpass.

The young people have come together to co-design the mural which will feature wildlife that is found in and around the River Avon. The project will be the second of its kind completed in Salisbury by Splash Wiltshire, with the first being the music icons piece near The Friary in 2016.

Community First chief executive Lynn Gibson said: “We are really excited to be undertaking this community project once again in Salisbury. The benefits to those that are involved can and often are life-changing, giving them the chance to make lasting friendships, build confidence and believe in themselves.”

Youth Action Wiltshire works with young people aged 5-18 years in Wiltshire. The service offers intensive mentoring, coaching and skills training for young carers, young victims of crime and young people facing challenges in their lives.
