Ada Salter: A Source of Inspiration

Ada Salter, born on 20 July 1866 in the UK, was an English social reformer, environmentalist, pacifist, and Quaker, notable for her pioneering work in social housing, women's suffrage, and urban gardening.

• Trailblazer: First woman mayor in London and the British Isles, active in the Women's Labour League and National Gardens Guild.
• Social Housing: Advocated for model council houses for working-class women and promoted urban gardening.
• Women's Rights: Helped establish the Women's Labour League, led trade union efforts, and supported women's workplace equality.

At The Developer Society, Salter’s commitment to social reform and environmentalism inspires us. As a digital not-for-profit co-op, we aim to empower charities and NGOs, reflecting her dedication to improving lives through community-focused initiatives.

We acknowledge that no one is perfect, including Salter. Our focus is on drawing inspiration from her positive contributions while recognizing that endorsing every aspect of a person's life and actions isn't necessary. We celebrate the values and actions that align with our mission to support social good through digital innovation.
